about

Volume III of this album was meant as a postscript, a set of covers of mostly obscure songs that I wanted to bring into the light a bit.

The Men of No Property was a group of musicians from Belfast, who recorded an album in the early 70s of songs against British imperialism in the six counties. This song is about Bernadette Devlin, the young socialist woman who was thrown in prison for resisting police at the Battle of the Bogside in Derry in 1969.

lyrics

Up in the Armagh Prison, where they keep the women, young Devlin lies in a prison cell. And for the Bogside people, there'll be no sleeping until young Devlin has been set free. Oh the old judge framed her, while they tried to shame her, but the world's acclaimed her for all she's done. And for the Bogside people, there'll be no sleeping until young Devlin has been set free.For defending Bogside, that was why she was tried, she forced the policemen all to fly. And for the Bogside people, there'll be no sleeping until young Devlin has been set free. Oh the day is coming when we'll all stop running and Connolly's cause will rise again. And for the Bogside people, there'll be no sleeping until young Devlin has been set free.
