In South Armagh there was a man who had a long-range gun He said I'll show them Army boys there's nowhere they can run He was the South Armagh sniper He'd pick a spot and wait the whole day through Until a brit patrol came into view
The Armagh sniper he never missed his mark He was lethal in the daytime and deadly in the dark If he gets you in his sights you'd better say your prayers So British troops go home or else beware
Soon his reputation spread through Ulster like wildfire The list of British casualties just kept on getting higher It was the South Armagh sniper he made the British forces think again About wandering at night through Crossmaglen
The Armagh sniper the brits were terrified They could never pin him down no matter how they tried If he gets you in his sights he'll make widows of your wives So brits go home while you still have your lives
In London and in Dublin they pretend to speak of peace They say give us your weapons and we'll make this bloodshed cease But the south Armagh sniper he's heard their lies and double-talk before He won't be fooled or cheated anymore
The Armagh sniper he hasn't gone away His rifles oiled and loaded he's just waiting for the day So if the British government should break their word well then The sniper will go back to work again I'm a-comin back boys
