Colm R. McGuinness – Come Out Ye Black And Tans Lyrics
Artist: Colm R. McGuinness
Song: Come Out Ye Black And Tans
I was born on a Dublin street where the royal drums did beat
And the loving English feet, they walked all over us
And every single night, when me Da would come home tight
He’d invite the neighbors out with this chorus
Come out ye Black and Tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra
Come let us hear you tell how you slanderеd great Parnell
When you thought him wеll and truly persecuted
Where are the sneers and jeers that you loudly let us hear
When the leaders of ’16 were executed?
Come out ye Black and Tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra
Come tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus, they had spears and bows and arrows
How bravely you faced one with your sixteen-pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to the marrow
Come out ye Black and Tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra
Now the time is coming fast, and I think them days are here
When each English yeoman heel and run before us
And if they’ll be in need, then our kids will sing, “Godspeed!”
With a verse or two of singing this fine chorus
Come out ye Black and Tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra
Come out ye Black and Tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra
