Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/524971
Intro
In Derry´s hills they mourn a son
Brave an Irish soldier´s gone
That fairly kind still bonds on
For Hughes lives on forever

Chorus
Freedom´s dawn has come at last
Judgement for injustice past
Your tyranny it´s dying fast
While Hughes lives on forever

Verse 1
A guardian from the hills and dales
Tyrone and Derry loved him well
And tortured in an H- Block cell
Hughes lives on forever

Chorus
Freedom´s dawn has come at last
Judgement for injustice past
Your tyranny it´s dying fast
While Hughes lives on forever

Verse 2
The scourge of Ireland´s enemies
The SAS and RUC
And conquered still your spirits free
For Hughes lives on forever

Chorus
Freedom´s dawn has come at last
Judgement for injustice past
Your tyranny it´s dying fast
While Hughes lives on forever

Verse 3
Sweet Francis Hughes you´re with us yet
Your murderers we shall not forget
They feared you then they fear you yet
For Hughes lives on forever

Chorus
Freedom´s dawn has come at last
Judgement for injustice past
Your tyranny it´s dying fast
While Hughes lives on forever

Outro
While Hughes lives on forever
