The Hooligans [USA] – Come Out Ye Black and Tans Lyrics

Artist: The Hooligans [USA]
Song: Come Out Ye Black and Tans

I was born in a Dublin street where the royal drums did beat
And those loving English feet they tramped all over us
And each and every night when me father’d come home tight
He’d invite the neighbors outside with this chorus

Come out ye black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Show them how the IRA made you run like hell away

From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra
Come tell us how you slew them poor Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
How you bravely faced each one behind your sixteen-pounder gun

And you frightened them poor natives to the marrow
Come out ye black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders

Show them 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 slandered great Parnell
When you thought him well and truly persecuted

Where are the sneers and jeers that you bravely let us hear
When our heroes of ’16 were executed?
Come out ye black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man

Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Show them how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra
Well the day is comin’ fast, and the time is here at last

When each yeoman will be cut aside before us
And if there be a need, surely kids would sing godspeed
With a verse or two of Stephen Behan’s chorus
Come out ye black and tans

Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Show them 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 wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Show them how the IRA made you run like hell away

From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra
