In Ireland many years ago, or so the legend says
Saint Patrick roamed the hills and glens to drive the snakes away
But now we have another saint that's bad news for the crown
His name is "One Shot Paddy" and it's Brits he will hound

{Chorus:}
The Brits are getting worried, they've all gone underground
If "One Shot Paddy" sees them, they'll know they're going down
So the next time that you see the Brits with their with their faces full of fright
Watch out for "One Shot Paddy" or his friend called Eamon Wright

Through the hills of South Armagh this gallant hero roams
He'll wander through the countryside he likes to call his home
And when he finds his target he will quietly take his aim
It is then that you will hear the crack and the Brits know who's to blame

{Chorus:}
The Brits are getting worried, they've all gone underground
If "One Shot Paddy" sees them, they'll know they're going down
So the next time that you see the Brits with their with their faces full of fright
Watch out for "One Shot Paddy" or his friend called Eamon Wright

So if you're in your home at night and the newsflash it is red
Your man from South Armagh's at work, another soldier dead
And when it comes to celebrate Saint Patrick's day cheer
Remember "One Shot Paddy" and the gallant I.R.A

{Chorus:}
The Brits are getting worried, they've all gone underground
If "One Shot Paddy" sees them, they'll know they're going down
So the next time that you see the Brits with their with their faces full of fright
Watch out for "One Shot Paddy" or his friend called Eamon Wright

The Brits are getting worried, they've all gone underground
If "One Shot Paddy" sees them, they'll know they're going down
So the next time that you see the Brits with their with their faces full of fright
Watch out for "One Shot Paddy" or his friend called Eamon Wright

Watch out for "One Shot Paddy" or his friend called Eamon Wright
