[Chorus]
And it's down along the Falls Road it's where I long to be,
Lying in the dark with the Provo company,
A comrade on me left and another one on me right,
A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite.
[Verse]
I was stopped by a soldier, he said, "You are a swine",
He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin,
I begged and I pleaded, all my manners were polite,
But all the time I'm thinking of me little Armalite.
[Chorus]
And it's down in the Bogside it's where I long to be,
Lying in the dark with the Provo company,
A comrade on me left and another one on me right,
A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite.
[Verse]
Well this brave RUC man came marching up our street,
Six hundred British soldiers he had lined up at his feet,
"Come out you cowardly Fenians, come on out and fight",
He cried, "I'm only joking" when he heard the Armalite.
[Chorus]
And it's down in Bellaghy it's where I long to be,
Lying in the dark with the Provo company,
A comrade on me left and another one on me right,
A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite.
[Verse]
Well the army came to visit me, it was in the early hours,
With Saracens and Saladins and Ferret armoured cars,
They thought they had me cornered, but I gave them all a fright,
With the armour piercing bullets of me little Armalite.
[Chorus]
And it's down in the New Lodge it's where I long to be,
Lying in the dark with the Provo company,
A comrade on me left and another one on me right,
A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite.
[Verse]
Well when Prior came to Belfast to see the battles won,
The generals they had told him, "We've got them on the run",
But corporals and privates while on patrol at night,
Say, "Remember Narrow Water and the bloody Armalite."
[Chorus]
And it's down in the Crossmaglen it's where I long to be,
Lying in the dark with the Provo company,
A comrade on me left and another one on me right,
A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite.
