(Fighting Men From Crossmaglen)
[Verse]
Of the famous fighting unit from Armagh, (Tiocfaidh ár lá!)
These are the men, (They are the men!), of Crossmaglen,
Among the bravest Ireland ever saw. (Where!)
[Chorus]
In Crossmaglen, the fire burns true,
That patriotic flame will never die, (Will never die!)
When you hear the Brits all cry,
It will be the fighting men from Crossmaglen.
[Verse]
At night you'll hear bazookas roar,
The Armalites are heard across the land,
The IRA, to equal the score,
They know the day of freedom's come to hand. (Where!)
[Chorus]
In Crossmaglen, the fire burns true,
That patriotic flame will never die, (Will never die!)
And when you hear the battle cry,
It will be the fighting men from Crossmaglen.
(God Bless This Lovely Land Of Mine)
[Chorus]
And it's God bless this lovely land of mine,
And it's God bless the mountains, the hills and the valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
Then I'll desert this lovely land of mine.
[Verse]
"This lovely land," the old man said,
"Will be alive when we are dead",
My fathers words still haunt my mind,
And it's God bless this lovely land of mine.
[Chorus]
And it's God bless this lovely land of mine,
And it's God bless the mountains, the hills and the valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
Then I'll desert this lovely land of mine.
[Verse]
My gallant comrades have passed away,
But with this song I'll sing today,
I'll sing this song before I die,
For it's God bless this lovely land of mine.
[Chorus]
And it's God bless this lovely land of mine,
And it's God bless the mountains, the hills and the valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
Then I'll desert this lovely land of mine.
[Outro]
Yes someday the sun will cease to shine,
Then I'll desert this lovely land of mine.
