[Verse]
When Craigavon sent the Specials out to shoot the people down,
They thought the IRA were dead in dear old Belfast town,
They got a rude awakening with rifle and grenade,
When they met the First Battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

[Chorus]
Glory, glory to old Ireland!
Glory, glory to our sireland!
Glory to the memory of those men who fought and died,
"No surrender!" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade!

[Verse]
The soldiers came from Hollywood, equipped with English guns,
They had men by the thousand, ammunition by the tonnes,
But when the got to the Falls Road, they were seriously delayed,
When they met the fighting Second Battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

[Chorus]
Glory, glory to old Ireland!
Glory, glory to our sireland!
Glory to the memory of those men who fought and died,
"No surrender!" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade!

[Verse]
We have no ammunition now or armoured cars to show,
But we're ready to defend ourselves no matter where we go,
We're out for our Republic and to hell with your Free State,
We're the fighting Third Battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

[Chorus]
Glory, glory to old Ireland!
Glory, glory to our sireland!
Glory to the memory of those men who fought and died,
"No surrender!" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade!

[Verse]
Come all you gallant Irishmen and join the IRA,
We'll strike a blow for freedom, when there comes a certain day,
You know your country's history, the sacrifice she's made,
Come join any battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

[Chorus]
Glory, glory to old Ireland!
Glory, glory to our sireland!
Glory to the memory of those men who fought and died,
"No surrender!" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade!
"No surrender!" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade!.
