Title: The Belfast Brigade

- Lyrics -
Craigavon sent the Specials out to shoot the people down,
he thought the IRA were dead in dear old Belfast town.
But he got a rude awakening when with rifle and grenade,
he met the First Battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

Glory, glory to old Ireland, glory, glory to this Ireland,
glory to the memory of the men who fought and died,
"No surrender!" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade.

Specials came from Holyrood equipped with English guns,
men by the thousand, ammunition by the tons,
but when they got to Seaforde Street they were seriously delayed
by the fighting First Battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

Glory, glory to old Ireland, glory, glory to this Ireland,
glory to the memory of the men who fought and died,
"No surrender!" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade.

We have no armoured cars or tenders for to show,
we're ready to defend ourselves no matter where we go,
we're out for our Republic, Orangemen may live in dread,
we're the fighting First Battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

Glory, glory to old Ireland, glory, glory to this Ireland,
glory to the memory of the men who fought and died,
"No surrender!" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade.
