(Gerry O’ Glacain)
Well I have been a Provo now
for 15 years or more
With armalites and mortorbombs
I though I knew the score
But now we have a weapon
we’ve never used before
The Brits are looking worried
and their going to worry more
[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh Ar La *,sing Up the Ra
Sam missiles in the sky
I started off with petrol
bombs and throwing bricks and stones
With a hundred more lads like me
I never was alone
But soon I learned that
bricks and stones wont drive
the Brits away
It wasn’t long before
I joined the I.R.A.
[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh Ar La *,sing Up the Ra
Sam missiles in the sky
Then there came internment
in the year of ’71
The Brits thought we were beaten,
that we were on the run
On that early August morning
they kicked in our door
But for every man they took away,
they missed a hundred more
[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh Ar La *,sing Up the Ra
Sam missiles in the sky
I spent eight years in the cages,
I had time to think and plan
For though they locked away a boy,
I walked away a man
And there’s only one thing
I learned while in their cell I lay
The Brits will never leave us,
until there blown away
[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh Ar La *,sing Up the Ra
Sam missiles in the sky
All through the days of hunger strike
I watched my comrades die
While in the streets of Belfast
you could hear the women cry
I cant forget the massacre
that Friday at Loughgall
I salute my fallen comrades,
as I watch the choppers fall.
