The Irish Brigade - Going Home At Last lyrics
[The Irish Brigade - Going Home At Last lyrics]
So let's pull down the watchtowers
You’re going home at last
Say farewell to Bellaghy
Carrickmore and West Belfast
With your kit bag on your shoulder and
A tear all in your eye
But pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
You say you came to save us
In the year of '69
But you stayed to keep the orange
State from falling to decline
When it came to Bloody Sunday
You showed the world what you could do
14 dead men on Derry street
Your true colors shone through
So let's pull down the watchtowers
You’re going home at last
Say farewell to Bellaghy
Carrickmore and West Belfast
With your kit bag on your shoulder and
A tear all in your eye
But pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
You found you couldn't beat us
After 30 years of war
In spite of all your choppers
Foot patrol and armored cars
We never will surrender
Or get on our knees and beg
So go crawling back to england with
Your tail between your legs
So let's pull down the watchtowers
You’re going home at last
Say farewell to Bellaghy
Carrickmore and West Belfast
With your kit bag on your shoulder and
A tear all in your eye
But pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
You say you're sad to leave us
But we have no regrets
You've left behind a legacy
We never will forget
From Dunloy to Drumnakilly you
Carved your bloody name
Your hands are stepped in Irish blood
So hang your heads in shame
So let's pull down the watchtowers
You’re going home at last
Say farewell to Bellaghy
Carrickmore and West Belfast
With your kit bag on your shoulder and
A tear all in your eye
But pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
So let's pull down the watchtowers
You’re going home at last
Say farewell to Bellaghy
Carrickmore and West Belfast
With your kit bag on your shoulder and
A tear all in your eye
But pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
Pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
You’re going home at last
Say farewell to Bellaghy
Carrickmore and West Belfast
With your kit bag on your shoulder and
A tear all in your eye
But pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
You say you came to save us
In the year of '69
But you stayed to keep the orange
State from falling to decline
When it came to Bloody Sunday
You showed the world what you could do
14 dead men on Derry street
Your true colors shone through
So let's pull down the watchtowers
You’re going home at last
Say farewell to Bellaghy
Carrickmore and West Belfast
With your kit bag on your shoulder and
A tear all in your eye
But pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
You found you couldn't beat us

Pardon me for smiling while
You're waving me goodbye
