[Chorus]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I've seen enough of Ireland boys,
I won't be back for more!
I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
Recruiting sergeant, he told me, "Son,
That army life was fine!"
I did not mention the mortar bombs,
Or those bloody claymore mines!

[Chorus]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I've seen enough of Ireland boys,
I won't be back for more!
I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
They told me of the German girls,
Or discos every night!
The only crack in South Armagh,
Comes from an Armalite!

[Chorus]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I've seen enough of Ireland boys,
I won't be back for more!
I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
Well I spent some time by the Derry Bridge,
And I thought I knew no fear!
Till a van-bomb parked outside my base,
Brought the barracks in round my ears!

[Chorus]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I've seen enough of Ireland boys,
I won't be back for more!
I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
So farewell at last to West Belfast,
To the Markets and the Falls!
Oh, I quickly got the message there,
It was written on the wall! (Brits out!)

[Chorus]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I've seen enough of Ireland boys,
And I won't be back for more!
I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
Come all young lads, in England you may be,
Signing on the brew!
Just stay well away from the IRA,
And they won't bother you!

[Chorus]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I've seen enough of Ireland boys,
And I won't be back for more!
I won't be back for more!

[Chorus]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I've seen enough of Ireland boys,
And I won't be back for more!
I won't be back for more!

[Outro]
Auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I've seen.
