As I came [G#m] down by Newry [F#] town, a man of [D#m] yeomen saw,
Well it was the 1st Battalion of the men from South Armagh,
[F#] Wouldn't me pity I ho, and a fall to the do, and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
Have ye [D#m] crossed the border, [F#] man, and did ye [D#m] travel afar,
[F#] Did ye see the [D#m] soldiers on the road, were they in armoured cars,
Wouldn't me pity I ho, and a fall to the do, [F#] and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
I [D#m] have crossed the border, [F#] man, and I [D#m] have travelled afar,
I saw the soldiers on the road, they were in two armoured cars,
[F#] Wouldn't me pity I ho, and a fall [B] to the do, [F#] and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
If this be [D#m] true, our leader said, we'd either stick or stand,
[F#] And very [D#m] carefully order [F#] with the Thompson [D#m] in his hand,
Wouldn't me pity [F#] I ho, and a fall to the do, and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
This band [D#m] of freedom fighters, [F#] they numbered barely ten,
They feared neither God nor devil, they came from across the Glen,
Wouldn't me pity I ho, and a fall to [B] the do, [F#] and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
The soldiers' car came along the road, and did to [D#m] be what it last,
[F#] Hey young man, [D#m] hold the pylon, you're out there was my big last,
Wouldn't me [B] pity I [F#] ho, and a fall to the do, and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
We opened [D#m] up along the [F#] stretch, with every [D#m] gun we had,
[F#] And before the [D#m] ambush finished all [F#] we knew, we'd hit [D#m] them [F#] bad,
Wouldn't me pity I ho, and a fall to the do, and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
When politicians [D#m] raised [F#] their hand, and at the [D#m] parisay,
[F#] They let us rot [D#m] for fifty years, and it was the only way,
[F#] Wouldn't me pity I ho, and a fall to the do, and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
I'd psych him in by now to town, the band of England saw,
It was the first battalion of the men from South Armagh,
Wouldn't me pity I ho, and a fall to the do, and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
Wouldn't me pity I ho, and a fall to the do, and a pity I ho, boy, yay!
