Black Watch, The
Unknown
You've heard about the B-men, the cruel RUC
You've heard about the black'n'tans in bygone history
Well there's another regiment the devil calls his own
They're known as the Black Watch commissioned by the thrown.

Strolling down the Falls road with riot guns and gas
Terrorizing women as they're coming out of mass
A shower of Scottish traitors we never will forget
Thank god we know the IRA will shoot the bastards dead.

These soldiers come from Scotland, a place we all know well
From the hardest parts of Glasgow where the `Teddy Bears' do dwell
They're given a British uniform and given a British gun
They join a British regiment just to have themselves some fun.

When I grow up and marry, I'll have a little son
I'll tell him about the regiment and the terrible things they've done
And when he gets older, becomes a man like me
He'll join the Provisional IRA and set old Ireland free



WHAT WAS THE BLACK WATCH? ANY DETAILS YOU CAN TELL ME?

The Royal Black Watch was a scottish regiment that was sent to ireland after the easter rising, they were ww1 veterans...

The Black Watch, or Royal Highland Regiment is a Scottish infantry regiment in the British Army. The Highlanders were first recruited to serve the Crown in 1720's, and the current Black Watch is a traditional successor of those troops.

I have not found mention of this Regiment's involvement in the 1916 Rising, as I believed the Regiment to have been heavily involved in the decisive battles of WWI at the time, but the Regiment has been deployed on several tours in North of Ireland after the 1970's, when BA made the decision to include (previously excluded) Scottish regiments in the rotation.

During these tours the Scots demonstrated their bias towards the Catholic/Nationalist population, hardly surprisingly considering the origins of the Protestant/Unionist people.

More Ignorance- Bluidy furriners :P

Fionas confuses the black watch- my fav. tartan- I have a black watch kilt, wie the black and tans. Honest tae God <_<

Werewolf- you're talking p1sh, as a Scot whose ancestors are from Ireland and who have served in the forces of the Crown I know that your post in nonsense.
Scots are in fact the least monarchist of all the people in the UK.
