In dungeon deep, I know what fate awaits me
Tied hand and foot, the foe has bound me fast
But in my pain, I pray the God above me
will grant this wish I know will be my last

Don't bury me in Erin's fenian valleys,
Oh take me home to Ulster, let me rest
And on my gravestone, carve this simple message,
Here lies a Soldier of The UVF

Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier,
Who fought and died for all he loved the best
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier,
Here lies a Soldier of The UVF

So gently drape the Red Hand round my shoulder,
Pin no heroes medals on my breast,
And if they ask, then will you kindly tell them,
Here lies a Soldier of The UVF

Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier,
Who fought and died for all he loved the best
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier,
Here lies a Soldier of The UVF
