I was stopped by a soldier and he said you are swine.
He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin.
I begged and I pleaded all my manners were polite.
Sure all the time I'm thinking of my 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 my left and another one on my right.
And a clip of ammunition for my little armalite.
Well, a brave RUC man came walking down our street.
600 British soldiers had lined up at his feet.
"Come out you cowardly Fenians, come on out and fight."
But he cried, "I'm only joking" when he heard the armalite.
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 my left and another one on my right.
And a clip of ammunition for my little armalite.
Well, the army came to visit me was in the early hours.
The sacristans and solodins in fevered armoured cars.
They thought they had me covered when I gave them all a fright.
With my armour piercing bullets of my 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 my left and another one on my right.
And a clip of ammunition for my little armalite.
When Harry came to Belfast, to see the battle's won.
The generals had told him we've got them on the run.
The corporals and privates when on patrol at night.
Said, "Send home for reinforcements! It's 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 my left and another one on my right.
And a clip of ammunition for my little armalite.
And it's up in Old Andy Town is where I long to be.
Lying in the dark with a Provo company.
A comrade on my left and another one on my right.
And a clip of ammunition for my little armalite.
Yes, a clip of ammunition for my little armalite.
