The Irish Brigade - The Sam Song
Well I have been a Provo now for 15 years or more
With armalites and mortar bombs I thought I knew the score
Oh but now we have a weapon we've never used before
The Brits are lookin' worried
And they're got to worry more
★ Chorus ★
Tiocfaidh ár lá!
Sing up the 'RA!
SAM Missiles in the sky
★ Verse ★
I started out with petrol bombs and throwin' bricks and stones
There hundred more lads like me
I never was alone
Ah but soon I learned that bricks and stones
Won't drivе the Brits away
It wasn't very long beforе I joined the IRA
★ Chorus ★
Tiocfaidh ár lá!
Sing up the 'RA!
SAM Missiles in the sky
★ Spoken ★
Is it a bird? (No!)
Is it a plane? (No!)
It's Super Sam!
★ Chorus ★
Tiocfaidh ár lá!
Sing up the 'RA!
SAM Missiles in the sky
★ Verse ★
And then there came interment in the year of seven one
The Brits thought we were beaten
That we were on the run
On that early august mornin'
They kicked in our back door
But for every man they took away
Sure they missed 20 more
★ Chorus
Tiocfaidh ár lá!
Sing up the 'RA!
SAM Missiles in the sky
★ Verse ★
I spent 8 years in the cages
And time to think a plan
For though they locked away a boy
I walked out a man
And there's only one thing I have learned
While in a cell I lay
The Brits will never leave us
Not until they're shown away
★ Chorus ★
Tiocfaidh ár lá!
Sing up the 'RA!
SAM Missiles in the sky
★ Verse ★
All through the days of hunger strike
I watched my comrades die
And in the streets of Belfast
You could here the women cry
Well I can't forget the massacre
That Friday at Loughgall
I salute my fallen comrades
As I watch the choppers fall
★ Outro ★
Tiocfaidh ár lá!
Sing up the 'RA! (Oo ah up the 'RA Oo ah up the 'RA)
SAM Missiles in the sky
Tiocfaidh ár lá!
Sing up the 'RA! (Oo ah up the 'RA Oo ah up the 'RA)
SAM Missiles in the sky (Oo ah up the 'RA Oo ah up the 'RA)
SAM Missiles in the sky (Oo ah up the 'RA Oo ah up the 'RA)
