[Verse 1]
Some men went to Dungannon town, the barracks for to case
And when they saw the queen's army gave classes at that place
With your IRA ricochet play it on your lambeg drum
[Verse 2]
Well, the RUC they did not think that we had planned some sport
They'd read of peace with the police in a Free State news report
With your IRA ricochet play it on your lambeg drum
[Verse 3]
Well, the Sargent, he had read the news, he said, "now, boys that's that,"
When to his surprise, upon the door, therе came a loud rat-tat-tat
With your IRA ricochet play it on your lambeg drum
[Verse 4]
Wеll, the Sargent, he stuck out his head, he pulled it back again
For he found that he was looking down the barrel of a sten
With your IRA ricochet play it on your lambeg drum
[Verse 5]
Well, the Sargent shouted out now, "Ah, boys now stop this lark,"
"Are you Protestants or Fenian men out there in the dark,"
With your IRA ricochet play it on your lambeg drum
[Verse 6]
They blew the barracks up that night and the RUC as well
And if the British army came they said they'd blow them all to hell
With your IRA ricochet play it on your lambeg drum
