Wolfe tones - Come Out Ye Black and TansI was born on a Dublin street where the Loyal drums do beat And those loving English feet they walked all over us, And every single night when me da'd come home tight He'd invite the neighbours outside with this chorus: Come out ye black and tans, Come let us hear you tell How you slammed the great Pernell, When you fought 'em well and truly persecuted, Where are the smears and jeers That you loudly let us hear When our leaders of '16 were executed. Come out ye black and tans, Come tell us how you slew Them ol' Arabs two-by-two Like the Zulus they had spears and bow and arrows, How you bravely you faced one With your sixteen pounder gun And you frightened them damned natives to their marrow. When each English yeoman here run before us, And if there'll be a need Then our kids will say, "Godspeed!" With a verse or two of singing this fine chorus. |
