Tommy Makem – Are You Ready For A War? lyrics

ARE YOU READY FOR A WAR?
Are you ready for a war for we are the English?
Are you ready for a war for we are the English soldiers?

Yes we're ready for a war for we are the Irish
Yes we're ready for a war for we are the Irish soldiers

Now we only have one eye for we are the English
Now we only have one eye for we are the English soldiers

Now we have no eyes at all for we are the Irish
Now we have no eyes at all for we are the Irish soldiers

Now we only have one arm for we are the English
Now we only have one arm for we are the English soldiers

Now we have no arms at all for we are the Irish
Now we have no arms at all for we are the Irish soldiers

Now we only have one leg for we are the English
Now we only have one leg for we are the English soldiers

Now we have no legs at all for we are the Irish
Now we have no legs at all for we are the Irish soldiers

Now we are all dead and gone for we are the English
Now we are all dead and gone for we are the English soldiers

Now we're all alive again for we are the Irish
Now we're all alive again for we are the Irish soldiers

Up the long ladder and down the short rope
To Hell with King Billy and God bless the Pope
If that doesn't do it, we'll tear him in two
And send him to Hell with his red white and blue
