Quinto Regimiento
Almanac Singers
Fifth Regiment
On July eighteenth
In the courtyard of a convent
The Communist Party
Founded the Fifth Regiment
Let’s get loud, loud
The machine gun's firing
And Franco's taking a hike.
With Lister, the farmer,
With Galán and Modesto
With Commander Carlos
No militiaman feels fear
Let’s get loud, loud
The machine gun's firing
And Franco's taking a hike.
With the four battalions
Defending Madrid
The best of Spain is leaving
The brightest flower of the people
Let’s get loud, loud
The machine gun's firing
And Franco's taking a hike.
With the fifth, fifth, fifth,
With the Fifth Regiment
Mom, I'm heading to the front
Into the lines of fire
Let’s get loud, loud
The machine gun's firing
And Franco's taking a hike.
