THE WOLFE TONES

THE HELICOPTER SONG



This song is by the legendary Irish ballad group the Wolfe Tones.

It's about the escape from Mountjoy prison (Dublin) of three Provo's

in a helicopter. The guards thought it was the prison warden coming

in but it was a sucessful escape for the Provo's. Who to this day

remain at large.





Chorus

G                      C        G

Up like a bird and high over the city

              Em         C                D

"Three men are missing" I heard the warder cry

        G                          C             D

"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison

      C                       D        C      D         G

Or one of those new Ministers" said the warder from Mountjoy





Verse 1

Early one morning as the branchmen they were sleeping

A little helicopter flew in from the sky

Down into the yard were some prisoners were walking

"Get ready for inspection" said the warder in the 'Joy





Verse 2

Down in the yard through the pushing and the shoving

Three of the prisoners they climbed upon the bird

And up and away they went into the grey skies

"I think someone escaped" said the warder in the 'Joy





Verse 3

Over in the Dáil they were drinking gin and brandy

The Minister for Justice was soaking up the sun

Then came this little message that some prisoners were escaping

"I think it's three of the Provo's" said the warder in the 'Joy





Verse 4

"Search every hole search every nook and cranny

Let no man rest until these men are found,

For this cannot happen to a law and order government"

"I think you'll never find them" said the warder in Mountjoy
