Black and Tants |
I was born in Dublin streets where the Loyalist drums did beat |
And the bloody English boots trampled all over us |
And every single night when me da' would came home tight |
He’d invite the neighbors outside with this Come out you black and tans, |
come on 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 Killashandra |
Tell her how you bravely slew them poor Arabs two by two |
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows |
Tell her how faced down one with your sixteen pounder gun |
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow |
Come on and let us hear you tell how you slammed the great Parnell |
When you fought them well and truly persecuted |
Where all those sneers and cheers that you bravely let us hear |
When our heroes of sixteen were executed |
The day is coming fast and the time will soon be near |
When each yeoman will be cast aside before us |
And if there be a need sure my kids will sing God speed |
With a verse of two of Steven Beehan’s |
