The Irish Brigade - Auf Wiedersehen to Crossmaglen
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...
★ verse 1 ★
The recruiting sargent, he told me "son
Well, army life is fine!"
But he did not mention mortar bombs
Our bloody claymore mines!
★ chorus ★
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...
★ verse 2 ★
Oh, they told me of the german girls
The discos every night!
Oh, but the only crack in south armagh
Comes from an armalite!
★ chorus ★
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...
★ verse 3 ★
Well, i spent some time on the toombe bridge line
Where i thought i known no fear!
'till a van-bomb parked outside our base
Brought the barracks in round our ears!
★ chorus ★
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...
★ verse 4 ★
So farewell at last to west belfast
To the markets and the falls!
Oh, i quickly got the message there
It was written on the wall! (brits out!)
★ chorus ★
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...
★ verse 5 ★
Now, all you young lads, though and england you'll be
Signing on the brew!
Oh, stay well way from the ira
And they won't bother you!
★ chorus ★
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...
