(THE BALLAMENA BIBLE BELT BLOCKADE)

Said Peter Robinson one day,
Maggie never have her way
We'll close the north without one threat being made,
Oh it's but hard to have one say,
When a tractor blocks the way,
At the Ballamena bible belt blockade

Oh for Ulster has said no,
The pact will have to go
We'll show them that us prods are not afraid,
So we'll close down all the shops,
And the work will have to stop,
At the Ballamena bible belt blockade

On that frosty Monday morning,
Did not heed the factory horn,
No wonder Peter Barry look dismayed
Or for the local R.U.C.,
Were all siting drinking tea,
At the Ballamena bible belt blockade

Now the farmers to a man,
Swore they all support the plan
There tractors and there trailers they displayed
Oh but they broke there solemn vow's,
And went home to milk the cows,
At the Ballamena bible belt blockade

Now the gantlet it was throne,
Will the bullyboys look on?
And I don't think there from the boy brigade,
With their cudgels and their masks,
Kind persuasion was their task
At the Ballamena bible belt blockade

Well wen you walk down Belfast town,
Maggie's closed the factory's down,
The heroes in the shipyards won't get paid,
So wen your cards comes from the dole,
You can ram them up you hole,
At the Ballamena bible belt blockade,
At the Ballamena bible belt blockade.

well here it is for what it's worth. all the best ferret
