F.C.A. |
When I signed on |
I was sixteen |
Had to lie about my age |
Had me hair cut short already |
At the time 'twas all the rage |
I heard so many stories |
About the crack in Mullingar |
And the glen ablow in Wicklow |
Keepin watch under the stars |
I was bored, broke, oblivious |
So I joined the F.C.A |
I got fitted for the uniform |
One sunny summers night |
The trousers never fitted |
And the beret was’nt right |
But the boots were strong and powerful |
I still have them to this day |
Though the shine is long deserted |
They still keep out the rain |
I was bored, broke, oblivious |
So I joined the F.C.A |
The tightest trousers |
Come from Tuam |
In Milltown they have |
No ballroom |
Oh I was so drunk and |
Disorderly |
I don’t know what I did |
But I have the strangest |
Feeling |
I owe Tom Wholihan 25 quid |
I was bored, broke, oblivious |
So I joined the F.C.A |
The night before we left |
I met my favourite girl uptown |
I felt like I was leaving |
For some war on foreign ground |
We promised love, kissed goodbye |
Like we never did before |
For the cause of Mother Ireland |
She could’nt have dunmore |
