Craigavon sent the Specials out to shoot the people down

He thought the IRA were dead in dear old Belfast town

But he got a rude awakening with the rifle and grenade

When he met the 3rd Battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

Chorus:

Glory, glory to old Ireland, glory, glory to this island

Glory to the memories of the men who fought and dies

"No surrender" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade.

These soldiers came from Holywood equipped with English guns

They had men by the thousands, ammunition by the ton

But when they got to Belfast they were seriously dismayed

By the Fighting 3rd Battalion of the Belfast Brigade.

Chorus:

We have no ammunition or no armoured tanks to show

But we're ready to defend ourselves no matter where we go

We're out for our Republic and to hell with your free state

"No surrender" is the war cry of the Belfast Brigade.

Chorus:

Come all ye gallant Irishmen and join the IRA

We'll strike a blow for freedom when there comes our certain day

You know our countries history and the sacrifice it made

Come join the 3rdBattalion of the Belfast Brigade.

Chorus:
