My Little Armalite - The Irish Brigade

And it’s down along the Falls Road is where I long to be

Lying in the dark with a provo company

A comrade on me left and another one on me right

A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite

I was stopped by a soldier, he said «You are a swine»

He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin

I begged and i pleaded, all my manners were polite

But all the time I’m thinking of me little Armalite

And it’s down in the Bogside is where I long to be

Lying in the dark with a provo company

A comrade on me left and another one on me right

A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite

Well this brave RUC man came marching up our street

Six hundred British soldiers he had lined up at his feet

«Come out you cowardly fenians, come on out and fight»

He cried «I'm only joking» when he heard the Armalite

And it’s down in Bellaghy is where I long to be

Lying in the dark with a provo company

A comrade on me left and another one on me right

A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite

Well the army came to visit me, it was in the early hours

With Saracens and Saladins and Ferret armoured cars

They thought they had me cornered, but I gave them all a fright

With the armour piercing bullets of me little Armalite

And it’s down in the New Lodge is where I long to be

Lying in the dark with a provo company

A comrade on me left and another one on me right

A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite

Well when Pryor came to Belfast to see the battles won

The generals they had told him «We've got them on the run»

But corporals and privates while on patrol at night

Say «Remember Narrow Water and the bloody Armalite»

And it’s down in Crossmaglen is where I long to be

Lying in the dark with a provo company

A comrade on me left and another one on me right

A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite
