[Verse]
I'll sing a song of an Irishman they hunted high and low,
Through Crossmaglen with a thousand men but he vanished like the snow,
Well, Eamonn Wright they called him, because aiming was his game,
No matter where the British went he got them just the same.
[Chorus]
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or more,
The one-shot sniper evened up the score!
He never missed his target when he got them in his sight,
The IRA made them pay with the famous Eamonn Wright.
[Verse]
Well, he brought his gun to Andytown and Ballymurphy too,
To Ardoyne and the New Lodge to fight for me and you,
The army say they saw him on a roof in Creggan Heights,
His rifle barked he found his mark and vanished out of sight.
[Chorus]
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or more,
The one-shot sniper evened up the score!
He never missed his target when he got them in his sight,
The IRA made them pay with the famous Eamonn Wright.
[Verse]
The British said he worked alone a terrorist in trade,
A solitary gunman from the South Armagh Brigade,
But it soon became apparent when they tried to hold our land,
There's more than a thousand Eamonn Wrights in the IRA command!
[Chorus]
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or more,
The one-shot sniper evened up the score!
He never missed his target when he got them in his sight,
The IRA made them pay with the famous Eamonn Wright.
[Chorus]
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or more,
The one-shot sniper evened up the score!
He never missed his target when he got them in his sight,
The IRA made them pay with the famous Eamonn Wright.
