The Tunnel Song - Auf Wiedersehen To Crossmaglen - Our Day Will Come Medley - The Irish Brigade


(The Tunnel Song)
[Verse]
Throughout in Ulster each July, you can hear the Orangemen cry,
"Oh, beat our the drums, the marching season's here,
For we're going to fill the streets with the sound of marching feet,
It's the time when all the Fenians live in fear."

"No surrender! We will shout as we burn the rebels out,
"Remember 1690!" is our cheer."
Ah, but since 1986, we are up to your olds tricks,
And the time to turn the tables is now here.

[Chorus]
Oh, you won't funnel through the tunnel with you sashes and your flutes,
For it's time to show that Croppies won't lie down,
And we will not endure your taunts or the orange flags you flaunt,
You can trail your coat from Belfast to the Boyne,
Ah, but your stopped to count the cost because the battle will be lost,
When you get to Obin Street in Portadown.

[Chorus]
Oh, you won't funnel through the tunnel with you sashes and your flutes,
For it's time to show that Croppies won't lie down,
And we will not endure your taunts or the orange flags you flaunt,
You can trail your coat from Belfast to the Boyne,
Ah, but your stopped to count the cost because the battle will be lost,
When you get to Obin Street in Portadown.

(Auf Wierdersehen To Crossmaglen)
[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,
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]
So farewell at last to West Belfast,
To Poleglass and the Falls!
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!

(Our Day Will Come)
[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá! Our day will come!
A glorious day for Ireland's fighting sons,
The day will come, we will be free,
Tiocfaidh ár lá! The dawn of liberty.

[Verse]
It's been a long eight hundred years,
Of English scorn for Irish tears,
And only freedom will suffice,
We've made too long a sacrifice.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá! Our day will come!
A glorious day for Ireland's fighting sons,
The day will come, we will be free,
Tiocfaidh ár lá! The dawn of liberty.

[Verse]
And those who make the prisons hell,
Who hold the keys and lock the cells,
Your time will come and it's longs you,
We'll have our chance to turn the screw.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá! Our day will come!
A glorious day for Ireland's fighting sons,
The day will come, we will be free,
Tiocfaidh ár lá! The dawn of liberty.

[Chorus]
Tiocfaidh ár lá! Our day will come!
A glorious day for Ireland's fighting sons,
The day will come, we will be free,
Tiocfaidh ár lá! The dawn of liberty,
Tiocfaidh ár lá! The dawn of liberty.
