Alistair Hulett And Dave Swarbrick - Around George Square Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On the morning after Bloody Friday cordite hung in the freezing air
As the iron fist of law and order laid the truth of Empire bare
The clatter of boots on cobbled stone splashed with blood and matted hair
On the morning after Bloody Friday echoed all around George Square

[Verse 2]
Squaddies rubbed their eyes and wondered what mad design had brought them there
While armoured cars in stern precision patrolled the streets around George Square
Still more trains spewed oot their cargo, sodgers brought from everywhere
On the morning after Bloody Friday tae twist barbed wire around George Square

[Verse 3]
Two centuries after they butchered the glenside
Government troops came tae put doon Red Clydeside
Bairns ran hame tae their mothers and cried
While their fathers lay bleedin' outside

[Verse 4]
On the morning after Bloody Friday in disbelief we stood and stared
As a well trained pack of British bulldogs tore Red Clyde fae gare tae gare
Every balcony and turret bristled with the tools of war
On the morning after Bloody Friday life was cheap around George Square
