My Old Mans a Provo Live in Dublin by The Irish Brigade Lyrics
A more recent song this time, this one I sorta changed the words somewhere along the line, a song called My Old Man
My old man's a provo!
[Chorus 1]
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 da's in ties and shirts and suits
[Verse 1]
The Brits and police all ask me each time when I go out
They ask me if I've seen my da and if he's been about
I say mind your own business, just leave me alonе
You sure are only jealous you havе no fathers of your own
[Chorus 1]
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 da's in ties and shirts and suits
[Verse 2]
On our TV the other night, a cop came on to say "Give us information about the IRA!"
He showed us a provo unit on security TV
I know one was me daddy, but he stopped and waved at me!
[Chorus 1]
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 da's in ties and shirts and suits
[Verse 3]
At christmas time it's lonely when daddy's not at home
The Brits are watching everywhere, they've even tapped our phone
Last christmas eve they staked out all our windows and our doors
When climbing down our chimney came a provo santa claws!
[Chorus 2]
Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to join the Provisional IRA
Oh jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to join the Provisional IRA
[Chorus 1]
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 da's in ties and shirts and suits
[Verse 4]
My da has got me worried, I think he's gone soft
There's half a ton of fertilizer, stowed up in our loft
"Are you gonna be a farmer dad?" I asked him just for fun
He said don't be an eejit, pass the coffee grinder son!
[Chorus 1]
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 da's in ties and shirts and suits
[Verse 5]
My daddy's up in Long Kesh now, to me it's just not right
I'll say a special prayer to him when I go to bed tonight
Today it was his birthday, I sent him in a cake
There was Semtex in the candles, he'll be out before I wake!
[Chorus 1]
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 da's in ties and shirts and suits
[Verse 6]
Well, now the guns are silent, and the fighting all will cease
And just like all those other dads, my dad will be released
And the Brits they wanna guarentee, that he will keep the peace
So they're making in a seargent in the IRA police!
[Chorus 1]
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 da's in ties and shirts and suits
Far cooler than those other da's in ties and shirts and suits!
My old man's a provo!
[Chorus 1]
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 da's in ties and shirts and suits
[Verse 1]
