Video: Come Out Ye Black and Tans

Played this heaps today.  Very moving. INLA, IRA Irish Freedom Fighters Wolfe tones - Come Out Ye Black and Tans I 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 out 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. 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 out 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.  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.   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 her 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 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.   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 her how the IRA made you run like hell away,  From the green and lovely lanes of  Killashandra.
