Ein Lied über den Unabhängigkeitskonflikt zwischen England und Irland in den 1920er Jahren. Die Irish Republican Army (IRA) kämpfte unter anderem gegen probritische Truppen wie die Black and Tans. Dominic Behan, dessen Vater selbst in der IRA aktiv war, verfasste später dieses Lied.
Text: Dominic Behan
I was born on a Dublin street where the loyal drums do beat
And the loving English feet they went all over us
And every single night when me dad would come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors out with this 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 you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Come tell us how you slew them ol´ Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had knives and bows and arrows
Of how bravely you faced one with your 16-pounder gun
And you frightened them natives to the marrow
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 you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Come let us hear you tell how you slandered great Parnell
When you fought them well and truly persecuted
Where are the sneers and jeers that you loudly let us hear
When our leaders of sixteen were executed?
Oh! Come out you British Huns, Come out and fight without your guns,
Show your wife how you won medals up in Derry
You murdered sixteen men and you'll do the same again,
So get out of here and take your bloody army.
ll: Oh 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 you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra .ll
