He served his country and Queen
And saw many a bad scene
Then on patrol in Belfast
He had to act fast
And when the time came
He took careful aim
So he served his time
Then years later was charged with a crime
They said they were to prosecute
Because he had to shoot
A IRA member
Back sometime in November
In the year 72
And they are going to sue
And to appease the IRA
He will be charged one day
And due to the PSNI
He has been hung out to dry
So after many years
His family are in tears
Because these years of freedom could be his last
When he is sent to court in Belfast.
