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

[Verse]
The recruiting sergeant, he told me, "Son,
Well army life is fine!"
But he did not mention 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!
And I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
Oh, they told me of the German girls,
The discos every night!
Oh, 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!
And I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
Well I spent some time on the Toomebridge line,
Where I thought I'd know no fear!
Till a van-bomb parked outside our base,
Brought the barracks in round our 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!
And 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]
So auf wiedersehen to Crossmaglen,
Farewell to Carrickmore!
I have seen enough of Ireland boys,
And I won't be back for more!
And I won't be back for more!

[Verse]
Now all you young lads, though in England you be,
Signing on the brew!
Oh, 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!
And I won't be back for more!.
