#1.
DI am a merry Aploughboy and I ploughed the fields all Dday.
Till a Asudden thought came into my head, that I should
roam aDway.
DFor I'm tired of Acivilian life, since the day that I was Dborn.
So, I´mA off to join the I.R.A. and I´m off tomorroDw morn.
CHORUS:
DSo, we´re off to Dublin' in theA green, in the green,
where the helmets glisten in the Dsun.
Where the Abayonets flash and the rifles crash to the
echo of a Thompson DGun.
#2.
DOh, I leave behind my Aold gray home, I leave behind my Dplough.
And I Aleave behind my old gray mare, for no more I´ll need 'emD now.
DAnd I leave behind my AMary, she´s the one that I Dadore.
And I Awonder will she think of me, when she hears the rifles Droar.
CHORUS:
DSo, we´re off to Dublin' in theA green, in the green,
where the helmets glisten in the Dsun.
Where the Abayonets flash and the rifles crash to the
echo of a Thompson DGun.
#3.
DOh, some men fight for Asilver and some men fight for Dgold.
But the AI.R.A. are fighting for the land the Saxons Dstole.
CHORUS:
DSo, we´re off to Dublin' in theA green, in the green,
where the helmets glisten in the Dsun.
Where the Abayonets flash and the rifles crash to the
echo of a Thompson DGun.
#4.
DAnd when the war is Aover and dear old Ireland's Dfree.
I will Atake her to the church to wed, a rebel's wife she´llD be.
CHORUS:
DSo, we´re off to Dublin' in theA green, in the green,
where the helmets glisten in the Dsun.
Where the Abayonets flash and the rifles crash to the
echo of a Thompson DGun.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
