(The Boys Of The Old Brigade)
[Verse]
"Oh, son, I see in memory few of far off distant day,
When being just a lad like you I joined the IRA."

[Chorus]
Where are the lads who stood with me,
When history was made?
Oh, grá mo chroí, I long to see,
The boys of the Old Brigade.

[Verse]
"From hill and farm, the call to arms was heard by one and all,
And from the glen came brave young men to answer Ireland's call,
It was long ago we faced the foe, the Old Brigade and me,
And by my side they fought and they died that Ireland might be free."

[Chorus]
Where are the lads who stood with me,
When history was made?
Oh, grá mo chroí, I long to see,
The boys of the Old Brigade.

[Verse]
"And now, my boy, I've told you why, on Easter morn I sigh,
For I recall my comrades all, on dark old days gone by,
Sure I think of men who fought in glen with rifle and grenades,
May heaven keep the men who sleep from the ranks of the IRA."

[Chorus]
Where are the lads who stood with me,
When history was made?
Oh, grá mo chroí, I long to see,
The boys of the Old Brigade.

[Chorus]
Where are the lads who stood with me,
When history was made?
Oh, grá mo chroí, I long to see,
The boys of the Old Brigade.

(Fighting Men From Crossmaglen)
[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 of Crossmaglen.

[Verse]
I'll sing a song of the bravest men
The famous fighting unit from Armagh, (Tiocfaidh ár lá!)
Those 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 of 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 close at 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 of Crossmaglen.

[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 of Crossmaglen.

(God Bless This Lovely Land Of Mine)
[Chorus]
And it's God bless this lovely land of mine,
God bless the mountains, her hills and her 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,
God bless the mountains, her hills and her valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
Then I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Verse]
Through misty eyes, I see my land,
I hunger for her future grand,
What greater hunger can there be?
For I hunger still, to see her free.

[Chorus]
And it's God bless this lovely land of mine,
God bless the mountains, her hills and her 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,
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, her hills and her valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
Then I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Chorus]
And it's God bless this lovely land of mine,
God bless the mountains, her hills and her valleys,
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
Then I'll desert this lovely land of mine.

[Outro]
Someday the sun will cease to shine,
Ooh, ah, up the RA, say ooh, ah, up the RA,
Say ooh, ah, up the RA, say ooh, ah, up the RA,
Then I'll desert this lovely land of mine,
Ooh, ah, up the RA.
