In 2005, two republican POWs in Maghaberry prison County Antrim made a small musical tribute to Bobby Sands attempting to capture his work in music. These are their efforts.
beautiful, Bobby was truly talented when it came to writing poems and songs, he read them aloud at night in the hblocks and they were a joy to hear for his comrades, the voyage and mcilhatton which christy moore sings both came from bobby aswel, rip a true Irish hero Bobby Sands
I Weeping Winds Oh! Cold March winds your cruel laments Are hard on prisoners’ hearts, For you bring my mother’s pleading cries From whom I have to part. I hear her weeping lonely sobs Her sorrows sweep me by, And in the dark of prison cell A tear has warmed my eye. Oh! Whistling winds why do you weep When roaming free you are, Oh! Is it that your poor heart’s broke And scattered off afar? Or is it that you bear the cries Of people born unfree, Who like your way have no control Or sovereign destiny? Oh! Lonely winds that walk the night To haunt the sinner’s soul Pray pity me a wretched lad Who never will grow old. Pray pity those who lie in pain The bondsman and the slave, And whisper sweet the breath of God Upon my humble grave. Oh! Cold March winds that pierce the dark You cry in aged tones For souls of folk you’ve brought to God But still you bear the moans. Oh! Weeping wind this lonely night My mother’s heart is sore, Oh! Lord of all breathe freedom’s breath That she may weep no more.
Truly beautiful makes me cry ,makes me stronger a truly wonderful man without a doubt a genius god bless Bobby sands a true hero a true Patriot,god bless you and everyone who has gave their lives to make the island of Ireland a united island.

Beautiful lyrics, Bobby Sands was a genius! I hope whoever put the music together are no longer incarcerated!! Support from Galway Republican.

Weeping Winds
Oh! Cold March winds your cruel laments
Are hard on prisoners’ hearts,
For you bring my mother’s pleading cries
From whom I have to part.
I hear her weeping lonely sobs
Her sorrows sweep me by,
And in the dark of prison cell
A tear has warmed my eye.
Oh! Whistling winds why do you weep
When roaming free you are,
Oh! Is it that your poor heart’s broke
And scattered off afar?
Or is it that you bear the cries
Of people born unfree,
Who like your way have no control
Or sovereign destiny?
Oh! Lonely winds that walk the night
To haunt the sinner’s soul
Pray pity me a wretched lad
Who never will grow old.
Pray pity those who lie in pain
The bondsman and the slave,
And whisper sweet the breath of God
Upon my humble grave.
Oh! Cold March winds that pierce the dark
You cry in aged tones
For souls of folk you’ve brought to God
But still you bear the moans.
Oh! Weeping wind this lonely night
My mother’s heart is sore,
Oh! Lord of all breathe freedom’s breath
That she may weep no more.
breaks my heart to think of you in that cell when they kept blankets from your naked body but they never broke you

Very beautiful.
The greatest loss to Ireland since Michael Collins. Would have gone on to lead the nation. Clear in his conviction and his politics
Tom Barry stated the year he died . These men were suffering at the hands of the same British that killed their Comrades
The singing is actually really good..
God Bless the Hunger Strikers ✝️🍀🇮🇪🤝🏴🍀
