the irish brigade - the black watch (live in dublin) lyrics

now, this song we learned a number of years ago
we picked it up in glasgow
so all the folks over tonight that have friends from there tonight
a wee song, “the black watch”!

[verse 1]
you’ve heard about the b+men, the cruel r.u.c
you’ve heard about the black’n’tans in bygone history
but there’s another regiment the devil calls his own
there known as the black watch, commissioned by the throne

[verse 2]
these soldiers come from scotland, a place you all know well
the hardest parts of glasgow, the teddy boys do dwell
they’re given a british uniform, they’re given a british gun
they join a british regiment to have themselves some fun

[chorus]
and they’re strolling down falls road with riot guns and gas
terrorizing women as they’re coming out of mass
a shower of scottish traitors we never will forget
thank god we know the i.r.a sure aren’t beaten yet!
[verse 3]
when i grow up and marry and have a little son
i’ll tell him about the regiment and the terrible things they’ve done
and when he gets older, and becomes a man like me
he’ll become a volunteer and set old ireland free!

[outro]
and they’re strolling down falls road with riot guns and gas
terrorizing women as they’re coming out of mass
a shower of scottish traitors we never will forget
thank god we know the i.r.a sure aren’t beaten yet!
thank god we know the i.r.a sure aren’t beaten yet!
