Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

You’ve heard about the B-men the cruel RUC
\nYou’ve heard about the Black and Tans in bygone history
\nBut theres another regiment the devil calls his own
\nTheyre known as the Black Watch commisioned by the throne<\/p>\n

Strolling down the Falls Road with riot guns and gas
\nTerrorising women as they’re coming out of mass
\nA bunch of Scottish critters we never will forget
\nThank God we know the IRA sure arent beaten yet<\/p>\n

These soldiers come from Scotland a place you all know well
\nFrom the hardest part of Glasgow the teddy boys do dwell
\nThey’re given a British uniform they’re given a British gun
\nThey joined a British regiment to have themselves some fun<\/p>\n

When I grow up and marry and have a little son
\nIll tell him of the regiment the terrible things they’ve done
\nAnd when that he grows older becomes a man like me
\nHe’ll become a volunteer and set old Ireland free<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
