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

I was stopped by a soldier he said you are swine
\nHe hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin
\nI begged and I peddled all me manners were polite
\nBut sure all the time Is thinkin of me little armalite<\/p>\n

And its down in the Bogside thats where I long to be
\nLying in the dark with a provo company
\nA comrade on me left and another one on me right
\nAnd a clip of ammunition for me little armalite<\/p>\n

Well a brave RUC man came walkin down our street
\n600 British soldiers he had lined up at his feet
\ncome out ye cowardly Fenians come on out and fight
\nbut he prayed Im only jokin when he heard the armalite<\/p>\n

Well the army came to visit me was in the early hours
\nThe saracens and solodins and fervered armoured cowards
\nThey thought they had me covered but I gave em all a fright
\nWith me armour piercin bullets of me little armalite<\/p>\n

When Harry came to Belfast to see the battles won
\nThe generals they had told him weve got them on the run
\nBut corporals and privates when on patrol at night
\nSaying call for reinforcements its the bloody armalite<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
