I was born on a Dublin street Where the Loyalist drums they beat And the loving English feet They walked all over us And every single night When me dad would come home tight He'd invite the neighbors out With his chorus Come out you black and tans Come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you Won medals in Flanders And how the IRA Made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes In Killashandra Come and come and tell How you caught the great Pernell And you had him truly purely persecuted And how you smeared and jeered Laughed for us to hear Our leaders of sixteen you executed Come out you black and tans Come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you Won medals in Flanders And how the IRA Made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes In Killashandra Come tell us how you slew Those old Arabs two by two And the Zulus they had knives and bows and arrows How you bravely faced one With a sixteen-pounder gun And frightened them poor 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 in Flanders And how the IRA Made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes In Killashandra Come out you British Huns Come out and fight without your guns Show your wife how you won medals in Derry You killed sixteen men and you'll do it all again Get out of here and take your fucking army Come out you black and tans Come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you Won medals in Flanders And how the IRA Made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes In Killashandra Come out you black and tans Come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you Won medals in Flanders And how the IRA Made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes In Killashandra Come out you black and tans Come out and fight me like a man Show your wife how you Won medals in Flanders And how the IRA Made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes In Killashandra
