[Verse 1]
I was born on a Dublin street where the loyal drums did beat
And those loving English feet, they walked all over us
And every single night when me da' would come home tight
He'd invite the neighbours out with this chorus
[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 Killeshandra
[Verse 2]
Come let us hear you tell
How you slanderеd great Parnell
When you thought him wеll and truly persecuted
Where are the sneers and jeers
That you loudly let us hear?
When our leaders of sixteen were executed
[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 Killeshandra
I was born on a Dublin street where the loyal drums did beat
And those loving English feet, they walked all over us
And every single night when me da' would come home tight
He'd invite the neighbours out with this chorus
[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 Killeshandra
[Verse 2]
Come let us hear you tell
How you slanderеd great Parnell
When you thought him wеll and truly persecuted
Where are the sneers and jeers
That you loudly let us hear?
When our leaders of sixteen were executed
[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 Killeshandra
