`Hug Me Through The Night' folk song lyrics

A folk love song from the 1980's about expressing love feelings at home within a society that enslaves working-class people

There's nothing more to say, my friend,
There's nothing more to prove
There's nothing more to fear, my friend,
There's no need more to move;
There's love that flows from deep inside
Expressed in many ways:
So rest with me and live your dreams
And hug me through the night.

There's nothing more to seek, my friend,
There's nothing to possess
There's nothing more to keep, my friend,
There's no need more to test;
There's love that seeks to show itself
Revealed in many ways:
So rest with me and live your dreams
And hug me through the night.

There's nothing more to ask, my friend,
There's nothing more to know
There's nothing to protect, my friend,
There's no need more to show;
There's love that trusts quite easily
And kisses silently:
So rest with me and live your dreams
And hug me through the night.

There's slavery out there, my friend
There's prison and poverty
There's ignorance on top, my friend,
There's pigs and lies and greed;
There's love that's locked in chains by hate
And can't escape it seems:
So rest with me and live your dreams
And hug me through the night.

`Ballad of Liam Mellows' folk song lyrics

A biographical folk song from 1985 about an Irish Republican socialist who was executed during the Irish Civil War.
(chorus)
Irish puppets ordered
Liam Mellows shot
Executed ten minutes before Mass
Irish traitors served
The British as good cops
And murdered Liam Mellows for their class.

(verses)
Born in 1892 with Ireland in chains
Liam Mellows sang and played fiddle
But before the age of 20 he united with his cause
And trained farmers to fight against British wrongs.

In 1916, Liam Mellows led the fight
In Galway and throughout the Irish West
To escape the British hunt, Liam went on the run
While the British drowned in blood the Irish Republic.

One by one they dragged into the prison yard
The leaders of the Easter Rebellion
And there the British shot the Irish Republic
As one by one the leaders were executed. (chorus)

With the aid of the people, Liam escaped to England
And then to North America to fight on
He raised some money there to wage guerrilla war
To re-establish the Irish Republic.

Then Liam Mellows returned to the land he loved
And organized for Ireland a gun run
The British were brutal, but the I.R.A. fought well
And they forced Lloyd George to the table.

But within the Irish camp there was an upper class
That sold out the Irish Republic
LIke a good Trojan Horse, they gave Britain the North
And Liam Mellows chose to resist. (chorus)

Britain's Irish tools were armed with British guns
And shot their former comrades at Four Courts
The Irish upper class did Britain's dirty work
And although elected, Liam Mellows was locked up.

Liam Mellows called for the Irish Republic
Where Irish workers would not be slaves
To shut Liam Mellows up, at 30 he was shot
And the government that killed him still rules today.

But the memory of Liam Mellows roams Ireland today
For his whole short life he gave for Ireland
His dream of a free nation, no longer partitioned,
It lives inside the hearts of everyone. (chorus)

`On A Highway In Bel Air' (For Ralph Featherstone and `Che' Payne) folk song lyrics

A protest folk song from 2019 about the explosion on Highway 1 in Bel Air, Maryland that killed two SNCC workers, Ralph Featherstone and William "Che" Payne, on March 8, 1970..

(verse 1)
On a highway in Bel Air in March
Of 1970
A car it exploded
Driving toward Washington, D.C.
Ralph Featherstone and "Che" Payne
Two SNCC workers lay dead
So cops claimed they "carried bombs"
On Route 1 in Maryland.

(chorus)
On a highway in Bel Air
Ralph Featherstone's body torn apart
On a highway in Bel Air
"Che" Payne killed in the dark.

(verse 2)
In a courthouse in Bel Air
A trial they did prepare
Of a former SNCC chairman
The government wanted jailed or dead
They assumed H. Rap Brown
Was in the car they targeted
For their COINTELPRO goal
Was the Movement to behead. (chorus)

(verse 3)
In the car driving from Bel Air
H. Rap Brown was not present
But the blast killed Ralph Featherstone
A key witness in Rap Brown's defense
Arranging security
Was Ralph Featherstone's mission
But he was killed on his way back
To his bookstore in Washington. (chrous)

(verse 4)
On a highway in Bel Air
SNCC said: "It was murder!"
From a bomb planted under the seat
In a SNCC car well-known by police
Though they failed to kill Rap Brown then
For life he was later jailed
And no more than 30 were "Che" and "Feather"
When at midnight they were killed. (chorus)
