The Irish Brigade - Auf Wiedersehen to Crossmaglen

{chorus}
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...

{verse 1}
The recruiting sargent, he told me "son
Well, army life is fine!"
But he did not mention mortar bombs
Our bloody claymore mines!

{chorus}
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...

{verse 2}
Oh, they told me of the german girls
The discos every night!
Oh, but the only crack in south armagh
Comes from an armalite!

{chorus}
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...

{verse 3}
Well, i spent some time on the toombe bridge line
Where i thought i known no fear!
'till a van-bomb parked outside our base
Brought the barracks in round our ears!

{chorus}
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...

{verse 4}
So farewell at last to west belfast
To the markets and the falls!
Oh, i quickly got the message there
It was written on the wall! (brits out!)

{chorus}
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...

{verse 5}
Now, all you young lads, though and england you'll be
Signing on the brew!
Oh, stay well way from the ira
And they won't bother you!

{chorus}
So auf wiedersehen to crossmaglen
Farewell to carrickmore!
I have seen enough of ireland boys
And i won't be back for more!
And i won't be back for more...
