Текст песни Come Out Ye Black And Tans

I was born on a Dublin street where the royal drums did beat And those loving English feet they walked all over us And every single night when me da' 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 them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra 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 loudly let us hear When our 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 them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra Come tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows How you bravely faced one with your 16-pounder gun And you frightened them dam natives to their 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 them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra Now the time is coming fast and I think them days are here When each traitor will be cut aside before us And if there be a need, then our 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 wife how you won medals down in Flanders Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
