[00:09.495]I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
[00:14.316]And those loving English feet they walked all over us
[00:19.167]And each of every night when me da' would come home tight
[00:23.453]He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus:
[00:28.199]Oh come out you black and tans
[00:30.438]Come out and fight me like a man
[00:32.727]Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
[00:37.499]And how the IRA make you run like hell way
[00:42.052]From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
[00:46.716]Come tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two
[00:51.363]Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
[00:55.912]How you bravely face one with your sixteen pounder gun
[01:00.674]And you frightened them damn natives to the marrow
[01:05.246]Come out you black and tans
[01:07.386]Come out and fight me like a man
[01:09.511]Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
[01:14.379]Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
[01:18.974]From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
[01:23.833]Oh come let us here you tell
[01:25.919]How you slammed the brave Parnell
[01:28.520]When you fought them well and truly persecuted
[01:33.027]Where are the smears and jeers
[01:35.274]That you bravely let us hear
[01:37.562]When our leader sixteen were executed
[01:42.124]Oh come out you black and tans
[01:44.400]Come out and fight me like a man
[01:46.729]Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
[01:51.348]Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
[01:55.871]From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
