[Chorus]
So auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore,
I have seen enough of Ireland boys,
And I won't be back for more!
No I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
The recruiting sergeant, he told me, "Son,
Well, army life it is fine!",
But he did not mention the mortar bombs,
Or 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!
No I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
They told me of the German girls,
The discos every night,
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!
No I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
Well, I spent some time on the Toomebridge line,
Where I thought I'd know no fears,
Till a van-bomb it parked outside the Lisburn base,
And brought the barracks in round they're 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!
No I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
So farewell at last to West Belfast,
To the Markets and the Falls,
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!
No I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
So come all you young lads, though in England you may be,
Signing on the brew,
Just stay well away 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!
No I won't be back for more!.
