William Billy Reid (1 January 1939 – 15 May 1971) Billy Reid, aged 32, was kicked to death after being wounded in the ensuing gunfight. Billy Reed Ill sing you a song, of a terrible wrong And the flags they flew at half mast And a man he lay dead, he was riddled with lead And he died on the streets of Belfast CHORUS O the radio said, twas another shot dead And he died with a gun in his hand But they didnt say why, Billy Reed had to die But he died to free Ireland Ir happened one day when the bold I.R.A. Went out to fight for their land With an old Thompson gun brought the troops on the run And defense of their homes was their plan. CHORUS When returning the gun Billy met with these Huns And when the fight had begun His position was dire, but his gun wouldnt fire So he died with that old Thompson gun. CHORUS Although he lay dead, he was kicked in the head By the hair they dragged him around For they still feared him yet and can never forget How brave Billy Reed stood his ground. CHORUS If you think he was right, come and join in the fight And help to free Belfast For the blood that he shed, although he lay dead In our hearts his memory will last.
