Lyrics

I was born on a Dublin street

Where the royal drums did beat

And those loving English feet

They'd walk all over us


And every single night

When me da would come home tight

He'd invite the neighbors out

With this fine chorus


Come out, ye Black and Tans

Come on and fight me like a man

Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders

Tell them how the IRA

Made you run like hell away

From the green and lovely lakes of Killeshandra


Come tell us how you slew

Them poor Arabs, two by two

Like the Zulu, they had spears and bows and arrows

How bravely you faced one

With your sixteen pounder gun

When you frightened them poor natives to their marrow


Come let us hear you tell

How you slandered great Parnell

How you through and well and truly persecuted

Where are the sneers and jeers

That you bravely let us hear

When our leaders of '16 were executed


Come out, ye Black and Tans

Come on and fight me like a man

Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders

Tell them how the IRA

Made you run like hell away

From the green and lovely lakes of Killeshandra


The time is coming fast

And I think those days are near

When each yeoman, he will run before us

And if there be a need

Then our kids will sing godspeed

With a verse or two of Stephen Behan's chorus


Come out, ye Black and Tans

Come on and fight me like a man

Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders

Tell them how the IRA

Made you run like hell away

From the green and lovely lakes of Killeshandra
