And it's down along the Falls Road it's where I long to be
Lying in the dark with a Provo company
A comrade on me left, aye another one on me right
A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite
I was stopped by a soldier, he said, "You are a swine"
He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin
I begged and I pleaded, all my manners were polite
But all the time I'm thinking of me little Armalite
And it's down in the Bogside it's where I long to be
Lying in the dark with the Provo company
A comrade on me left and another one on me right
And a clip of ammunition for me little Armalite
Well this brave RUC man came marching up our street
Six hundred British soldiers he had lined up at his feet
"Come out you cowardly fenians, come on out and fight"
He cried, "I'm only joking!" when he heard the Armalite
And it's down in Bellaghy it's where I long to be
Lying in the dark with the Provo company
A comrade on me left and another one on me right
A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite
Well the army came to visit me, 'twas in the early hours
With Saracens and Saladins and Ferret armoured cars
They thought they had me cornered, but I gave them all a fright
With the armour piercing bullets of me little Armalite
And it's down in the New Lodge it's where I long to be
Lying in the dark with the Provo company
A comrade on me left and another one on me right
A clip of ammunition for me little Armalite
Well, when Prior came to Belfast, says he: "The battle's won"
The generals they had told him, "We've got them on the run"
But corporals and privates while on patrol at night
Say "Remember Narrow Water and the bloody Armalite"
And it's down in Crossmaglen it's where I long to be
Lying in the dark with the Provo company
