The Ballad Of Kevin Lynch Poem by Liam ó Comáin

At the foot of the Sperrins on the banks of the Roe
A revolutionary was born whom many would know
As brave Kevin Lynch from a place near Dungiven
Who died in the H-blocks and went early to Heaven.

In the north of our island there are many brave youth
Who opposed injustice and fought for the truth
To see our fair country a nation once more
And brave Kevin Lynch was there to the fore.

In the war of liberation for his native land
For justice and peace with life made a stand
So remember with pride as the heather does bloom
This disciple of Connolly who died for our freedom.
