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

[Verse]
The recruiting sergeant, he told me, "Son,
Army life is fine!"
But he did not mention the mortar bombs,
Or the bloody claymore mines!

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

[Verse]
And they told me of the Reeperbahn,
And sex shows every night!
Yet the only crack in South Armagh,
Came from a Provo Armalite!

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

[Bridge]
The I, the I, the IRA,
The I, the I, the IRA.

[Verse]
And I spend my time on the Toomebridge line,
Where I thought I could no fear!
Till a van-bomb it parked outside my Lisburn base,
And blew the barracks in around my fucking ears!

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

[Verse]
Farewell at last to West Belfast,
To the Markets and the Falls!
I quickly got their message there,
For it's written on the wall! (Brits out!)

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

[Verse]
And come all you young lads, though in Britain you might be,
Signing on the brew!
Stay the fuck away from the Provisional IRA,
And they'll never bother you!

[Chorus]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell Carrickmore!
I've seen enough of Ireland boys,
I won't be back for more!
Oh, no I won't be back for more!.
