Title: The Sam Song
Time: 4/4
Verse 1
Well I Have Been A Provo Now For 15 Years Or More
With Armalites And Mortorbombs I Thought I Knew The Score
But Now We Have A Weapon We've Never Used Before
The Brits Are Looking Worried And They're Going To Worry More
Chorus
Tiocfaidh Ar Lá, Sing Up The Ra
Sam Missiles In The Sky
Verse 2
I Started Off With Petrol Bombs And Throwing Bricks And Stones
With A Hundred More Lads Like Me I Never Was Alone
But Soon I Learned That Bricks And Stones Won't Drive The Brits Away
It Wasn't Long Before I Joined The I.r.a.
Chorus
Tiocfaidh Ar Lá, Sing Up The Ra
Sam Missiles In The Sky
Verse 3
Then There Came Internment In The Year Of '71
The Brits Thought We Were Beaten, That We Were On The Run
On That Early August Morning They Kicked In Our Door
But For Every Man They Took Away, They Missed A Hundred More
Chorus
Tiocfaidh Ar Lá, Sing Up The Ra
Sam Missiles In The Sky
Verse 4
I Spent Eight Years In The Cages, I Had Time To Think And Plan
For Though They Locked Away A Boy, I Walked Away A Man
And There's Only One Thing I Learned While In Their Cell I Lay
The Brits Will Never Leave Us, Until They're Blown Away
Chorus
Tiocfaidh Ar Lá, Sing Up The Ra
Sam Missiles In The Sky
Verse 5
All Through The Days Of Hunger Strike I Watched My Comrades Die
While In The Streets Of Belfast You Could Hear The Women Cry
I Can't Forget The Massacre That Friday At Loughgall
I Salute My Fallen Comrades, As I Watch The Choppers Fall
Chorus
Tiocfaidh Ar Lá, Sing Up The Ra
Sam Missiles In The Sky
Outro / Final Chorus
Tiocfaidh Ar Lá, Sing Up The Ra
Sam Missiles In The Sky
