The chasing girls was easy and drinking been was fun
|
And he went out one day and bought himself a gun,
|
He shot a couple of coppers and he joined the IRA,
|
And the papers called him Paddy Public Enemy No 1
|
|
The Coppers in the north they couldn't catch him
|
The British army they just couldn't touch him
|
He shot a couple of coppers and he joined the IRA,
|
And the papers called him Paddy Public Enemy No 1
|
|
One day the knock came at the door, they hauled him away,
|
The IRA they kicked him out when he was still in jail
|
When he got outta jail he shouted up the IRA
|
And the papers called him Paddy Public Enemy No 1
|
|
The coppers in the North they couldn't catch him
|
The British army they just couldn't touch him
|
When he got out of jail he shouted up the IRA
|
And the papers called him Paddy Public Enemy No 1
|
|
The factions all were fighting
|
their deadly power game
|
He said fuck them all and left the INLA
|
Wherever there was trouble
|
there was Paddy and his gun
|
And the papers called him Paddy Public Enemy No 1
|
|
The coppers in the North they couldn't catch him
|
The British army they just couldn't touch him
|
When he got out of jail he shouted up the IRA
|
And the papers called him Paddy Public Enemy No 1
|
|
One day he tired of it all and hung away his gun
|
When he hung away his gun he became the hunted one
|
He went into a phone box to make a local call,
|
They shot him in the phonebox
|
splashin blood upon the wall
|
|
But when he hung away his gun he became the hunted one
|
And that was the end of Paddy Public Enemy No 1
|
