I was born in a Dublin street where the Loyalists run the beat
And the loving English feet, they walked all over us
And every single night when me da would come home right
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 ye run like hell away
        From the green and lovely lakes of Killishander

Come tell us how you slew them oul Irish two by two
Like Zulus, they had spears and bows and arrows
How bravely ye faced one, with your 16 lb a gun
And ye frightened them damn natives to the marrow

Repeat Chorus

Come let us hear you tell how you slammed the great Parnell
When ye saw him well and truly persecuted
Where are the smears and jeers that you loudly let us hear
When our leaders of ?16 were executed

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus
