Can someone help me out here... This song is sung by a girl, sounds a bit like Seanchai... And the song is to the tune of "The Foggy Dew", but in a slower tempo... Would be really thankful for a little help..=)

Here's the lyrics:

The sun did dawn so grey and cold on Derry�s empty streets
The buildings echoed one by one to the sound of marching feet,
But not one soul did speak that day � not woman, man nor wean ,
Yet thirteen men will never walk on Derry�s streets again.

The people gathered suddenly to march to Gilmour Square
They came in peace to state their case among their own kind there,
But butchers waited there for them with bullet, blood and pain,
And thirteen men will never walk on Derry�s streets again.

The tramp of feet across the street was broken by the sound
Of armoured cars and rifle shots, and death was all around.
Some ran to tend the fallen men but by cowards they were slain
And thirteen men will never walk on Derry�s streets again.

Let England hang her head in shame now all the world can see,
The day there was a massacre they called a victory,
Let Ireland stand united now and speak our message plain,
That honest men may dare to walk on Derry�s streets again.

The band are called Summerfly, an all girl Republican group comprising of four.They come from the Derry/Letterkenny area.They recorded I think three CD's in the mid to late 90's.I don't think the band are still to-gether unfortunately,but they were very good and sounded great.

One of my absolutely favourite songs, but it seems quite hard to find the complete version of it.

Does anyone know where I can find it?

Thanks / Matti
