| Come Out Ye Black and Tans Dominic Behan |

| I was born in a Dublin street where the loyal drums do beat And the loving English feet they walked all over us And each and every night when me Da� would come home tight He�d invite the neighbours 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 her how the IRA made you run like hell away from the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra Come and tell her how you slew them auld Arabs two by two Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows How you bravely faced each one with your sixteen pounder gun And you frightened them damn natives to the marrow Chorus Come let us hear you tell how you slandered great Parnell When you thought him well and truly persecuted Tell us how you sneered and jeered When our leaders of �16 were executed Chorus The day is coming fast and the time is here at last When each yoeman will be cast aside before us And if there be a need sure my kids will sing God speed With a verse or two of Steven Beehan's chorus |
