[Verse]
Jack Lynch came out from Dublin and he had ten thousand men,
He marched them up to the border and he marched them home again,
But such an armoured column lads the like was never seen,
Five hundred mounted bicycles all wearing of the green.

[Chorus]
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim,
He doesn't give a damn for us or we a damn for him,
He sits on his ass in Dublin and I hope he does enjoy,
Selling out his country for he's England's little boy.

[Verse]
Well, the Special Branch in Dublin there something for to see,
They'll crawl out from the castle to inform on you and me,
But the day is coming soon, me boys, you'll hear those rifles bark,
The only snakes in Ireland will be in the Phoenix Park.

[Chorus]
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim,
He doesn't give a damn for us or we a damn for him,
He sits on his ass in Dublin and I hope he does enjoy,
Selling out his country for he's England's little boy.

[Verse]
Well, Jack, where were you last August with all your merry men,
Oh, were you on the Falls Road or in the Bogside then?
No, you were phoning London and squealing all you knew,
On every Irish rebel that would hold a gun it's true.

[Chorus]
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim,
He doesn't give a damn for us or we a damn for him,
He sits on his ass in Dublin and I hope he does enjoy,
Selling out his country for he's England's little boy.

[Verse]
When we finally get our freedom we’ll make them understand,
Scrap Fianna Fáil Gestapo, aye and all their rotten band,
But we'll want a true republic with the workers in command,
That won't betray their countrymen or sell them out of hand.

[Chorus]
Let him go, let him tarry, let him sink or let him swim,
He doesn't give a damn for us or we a damn for him,
He sits on his ass in Dublin and I hope he does enjoy,
Selling out his country for he's England's little boy.
