Текст песни Come Out Ye Black & Tans - The Wolfe Tones

I was born on a Dublin street
Where the Royal drums do 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 neighbors 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 lanes of Killashandra
Come let us hear you tell
How you slandered great Pernell
When you fought them well and truly persecuted
Where are the smears 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 lanes of Killashandra
Come tell us how you slew
Them old Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bow and arrows
How bravely you faced one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to their 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 lanes of Killashandra
Now the time is coming fast
And I think them days are here
When each English hun and heel run before us
And if there be a need
Then our kids will sing Godspeed
With a verse or two of singing this one 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 lanes of Killashandra
