And we [G] sing and speak their names with a sense of [D] pride
But there's [G] one of all our fallen for [C] reasons soon to see
Who we [G] celebrate and [D] sing about [G] tonight
Now you'll likely say who is this man who proudly gave his life
And travelled to a brand new Irish world
But the answer is really simple friend and really quite unique
For this volunteer's a brave young Derry girl
[chorus]
So look over your shoulder and tell me what you see
She's a girl whose name will live in History
So look over your shoulder and tell me what you see
She's a girl whose name will live in History
She was delicate small for age, a girl who loved this land
And explosives were the weapons on that day
Until a tragic fatal accident they prematurely blew
And young Ethel's life was a price we had to pay
She was just another Derry girl, she worked, she laughed, she smiled
And her actions has inspired colleen since
To continue with the struggle and to show the same resolve
That stole the life of our young Ethel Lynch
