[00:00.00]Come Out Ye Black And Tans - Declan Hunt
[00:07.46]I was born on a Dublin street
[00:09.52]Where the royal drums did beat
[00:11.51]And the loving English feet tramped all over us
[00:15.67]And each and every night
[00:17.46]When me father came home tight
[00:19.45]He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chours
[00:23.61]Come out ye Black and Tans
[00:25.36]Come out and fight me like a man
[00:27.26]Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
[00:31.12]Tell them how the IRA
[00:33.14]Made you run like hell away
[00:35.16]From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
[00:40.29]Come let me hear you tell
[00:41.96]How you slammed the brave Parnell
[00:44.06]When you thought him well and truly persecuted
[00:47.97]Where are the sneers and jeers
[00:49.78]That you bravely let us hear
[00:51.81]When our leaders of 16 were executed
[00:55.95]Come out Ye Black and Tans
[00:57.57]Come out and fight me like a man
[00:59.53]Show your wifes how you won medals down in Flanders
[01:03.49]Tell her how the IRA made you ran like hell away
[01:07.45]From the green and lovely lanes in Killeshandra
[01:12.52]Come tell us how you slew
[01:14.27]Them poor arabs two by two
[01:16.28]Like the zulus they had speers and bows and arrows
[01:20.06]How you bravely faced each one
[01:22.07]With your sixteen pounder gun
[01:24.10]And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow
[01:28.10]Come out Ye Black and Tans
[01:29.87]Come out and fight me like a man
[01:31.68]Show your wifes how you won medals down in Flanders
[01:35.57]Tell her how the IRA made you ran like hell away
[01:39.46]From the green and lovely lanes in Killeshandra
[01:44.80]The day is coming fast
[01:46.34]And the time is soon be there
[01:48.33]When each yeoman will be cut aside before us
[01:52.57]And if there be a need
[01:54.33]That me kids would sing godspeed
[01:56.58]With a verse or two of stephen behan's chorus
[02:00.47]Come out Ye Black and Tans
[02:02.11]Come out and fight me like a man
[02:03.99]Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
[02:07.92]Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
[02:11.89]From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
