SAM Song / Banda Bassotti

SAM Song / Banda Bassotti I have been a Provo now for 15 years or more With armalites and motorbombs I thought I knew the score But now we have a weapon, we've never used before The Brits are looking worried - and their going to worry more! Tiocfaidh Ar La, sing Up the 'RA SAM missiles, in the sky I started off with petrol bomb and throwing bricks and stones With a 100 more lads like me I never was along But soon and learned that bricks and stones won't drive the Brits away It wasn't very long before, I joined the IRA Then there came Internment in the year of '71 The Brits thought we were beaten that we were on the run on that early August morning they kicked'in our back door But for every man they took away, they missed a hundred more I spent eight years in the cages, I had time to think and plan For though they locked away a boy, I walked out a man And there's only one thing that I learned will in their cell I lay The Brits will never leave us, until their blown away! All through the days of Hunger strike I watched my comrades die While in the streets of Belfast you could hear the women cry I can't forget the massacre that Friday at Loughgall I salute my fallen comrades, as I watch the choppers fall
