    He said, "I did commit no crime"
    I'll not go out on bail.

    When he arrived in Galway town,
    He was met by thousands there
    The people all had turned out
    Their voice rang through the air,
    Twice they thought to rescue him,
    And then with stones and sticks
    They attacked the jail in Galway
    In September '86.
