I was faster, Wolfgang!
Here it comes. There are a few spots where I am not sure. These are marked in red

LITTLE ARMALITE

I was stopped by a soldier he said "you are a swine"
He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin
I begged and I pleaded, all my manners were polite
But at all a time I'm thinking of my little Armalite.
And it's down in the bogside, that's where I long to be

Chorus   [after each verse]

Lying in the dark with a provo company
A comrade on my left and another one on my right
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
Well a brave RUC came walking down our street
Six hundred British soldiers he had lined up at his feet
"Come out you cowardly Fenians, come on out and fight
But he cried I'm only joking when he heard the Armalite
And it's down along the Falls Road that's where I long to be

Well the army come to visit me it was in the early hours.
With Saracens and Saladins and Ferret armed cars
They thought they had me covered but I gave them all a fright
With the armour piercing bullets from my little Armalite
And it's down in the (Newlarge ???) that's where I long to be

Well when (Padraig ???) came to Belfast said he "the battle's won"
The generals they had told him "we've got them on the run"
But corporals and privates when on patrol at night
Says "Send home for reinforcements, that's the bloody Armalite"
And it's down in Crossmaglen that's where I long to be

And it's up in (Olandy ???) town that's where I long to be
