My Old Man’s a Provo The Irish Brigade

[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run
He looks so really trendy, in his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits

[Verse 1]
The Brits and police harass me each time that I go out
They ask me if I've seen my da and if he's been about
I say, "Mind your own business, oh just leave me alone
You sure are only jealous you've no fathers of your own"

[Chorus]
Well, my old man's a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run
He looks so really trendy in his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits

[Verse 2]
On our TV last Friday night, a cop came on to say:
"Please give us information about the IRA"
He showed a provo unit on security TV
I know one was me daddy, for he stopped and waved at me!

[Chorus]
Oh, my old man's a provo with a beret and a gun
I haven't seen him lately, he's always on the run
He looks so really trendy in his shades and DM boots
Far cooler than those other dads in ties and shirts and suits
