CArmored cars and tanks and guns
Gcame to take aCway our sons
but every man must sFtand behind
the Cmen beGhind the Cwire
CThrough the little sFtreets of Belfast
Cin the dark of eGarly morn
CBritish soldiers cFame marauding
Cwrecking little Ghomes with sCcorn
Chear the sobs of cFrying children
Cdragging fathers fGrom their beds
Cwatch the scene as Fhelpless mothers
Cwatch the blood fall Gfrom their Cheads
CArmored cars and tanks and guns
Gcame to take aCway our sons!
but every man must sFtand behind
the Cmen beGhind the Cwire
CNot for them no Fjudge no jury,
Cor indeed a cGrime at all
Cbeing Irish mFeans we're guilty
Cso we're guilty Gone and aCll
Cround the world the tFruth will echo
CCromwell's men are hGere again
CEngland“s name aFgain is sullied
Cin the eyes of Ghonest Cmen
CArmored cars and tanks and guns
Gcame to take aCway our sons!
but every man must sFtand behind
the Cmen beGhind the Cwire
CProudly march beFhind our banner
Cfirmly stand beGhind our men
Cwe will have them Ffree to help us
Cbuild a nation Gonce aCgain
Call the people Fstand together
Cproudly firmly Gon the way
Cnever fear, Fnever falter
Ctill the boys come Ghome to sCtay
CArmored cars and tanks and guns
Gcame to take aCway our sons!
but every man must sFtand behind
the Cmen beGhind the Cwire
