Lyrics
I was born on a Dublin street
Where the loyal drums did beat
The 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
Come out you 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 lakes
Of Killeshandra
Come let us hear you tell
How you slandered great Parnell
When you thought him well and truly persecuted
Where are the sneers and jeers
That you loudly let us hear
When our leaders of sixteen
Were executed
Come out you 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 lakes
Of Killeshandra
Come tell us how you slew
Them old tribes two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears
And bow and arrows
A brave youth they flaunt
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives
To the marrow
Come out you 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 lakes
Of Killeshandra
The time is coming fast
And I think the day is near
When each Union he will run before us
And if there be a need
Well our kids will say Godspeed
With a verse or two of singing
This fine chorus
Come out you 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 lakes
Of Killeshandra
I was born on a Dublin street
Where the loyal drums did beat
The 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
Come out you 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 lakes
Of Killeshandra
Come out you 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 lakes
Of Killeshandra
