Now, this song we learned a number of years ago
We picked it up in Glasgow
So all the folks over tonight that have friends from there tonight
A wee song, "The Black Watch"!

[Verse 1]
You've heard about the B-men, the cruel R.U.C
You've heard about the Black'n'Tans in bygone history
But there's another regiment the devil calls his own
There known as the Black Watch, commissioned by the throne

[Chorus]
And they're strolling down Falls road with riot guns and gas
Terrorizing women as they're coming out of mass
A shower of Scottish traitors we never will forget
Thank god we know the I.R.A sure aren't beaten yet!

[Verse 2]
These soldiers come from Scotland, a place you all know well
The hardest parts of Glasgow, the Teddy Boys do dwell
They're given a British uniform, they're given a British gun
They join a British regiment to have themselves some fun

[Chorus]
And they're strolling down Falls road with riot guns and gas
Terrorizing women as they're coming out of mass
A shower of Scottish traitors we never will forget
Thank god we know the I.R.A sure aren't beaten yet!
[Verse 3]
When I grow up and marry and have a little son
I'll tell him about the regiment and the terrible things they've done
And when he gets older, and becomes a man like me
He'll become a volunteer and set old Ireland free!

[Chorus]
And they're strolling down Falls road with riot guns and gas
Terrorizing women as they're coming out of mass
A shower of Scottish traitors we never will forget
Thank god we know the I.R.A sure aren't beaten yet! (One more time!)

[Outro]
And they're strolling down Falls road with riot guns and gas
Terrorizing women as they're coming out of mass
A shower of Scottish traitors we never will forget
Thank god we know the I.R.A sure aren't beaten yet!
Thank god we know the I.R.A sure aren't beaten yet!
