Lyrics
:
Across the Irish border And hidden in a car Lies guns and ammunition That were smuggled from Armagh Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight And they should sort it out - and they stop the march And stop the shout Well the Irish reb's a gunman And his pistol's Russian grey And when you ask who gave it to him He says "The U.S.A." Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight And they should sort it out - and they let them march And let them shout. Kill it shoot it down And if you bum it to the ground Well if you kill it light the fuse What's the point and what's the use (If you) Kill it shoot it down And If you bum it to the ground Kill it light the fuse There ain't no point and there ain't no use. Well Mr. Ian Paisley's marching From Ireland to 'L.A.' Now he's asking for some sympathy And guns for the U.D.A. Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight And they should sort it out - and they let them march and let them fight (And if you) Kill it shoot it down (And if you) Bum it to the ground Kill it light the fuse What's the point and what's the use (And If you) Kill it shoot it down (And if you) Bum it to the ground Well now you kill it light the fuse There ain't no point and there ain't no use. Now the letter bombs are posted And the booby traps are laid And the British soldiers marching They're marching to their graves Well that's not right - and they should stop the fight And they should sort it out - and they let them march And let them shout (Well if you) Kill it shoot it down (And if you) Bum it to the ground Well kill it light the fuse What's the point and what's the use (And If you) Kill it shoot it down (And then you) Bum it to the ground Well kill it light the fuse There ain't no point and there ain't no use No
