Come Out Ye Black & Tans

Come Out Ye Black & Tans is a song popularized during the Irish Revolution (1912-1923) and then re-popularized during “The Troubles“ (1960’s-1998) with Irish nationalist sentiments rearising in British-controlled Northern Ireland. This song includes a 5th, final verse I’d found mentioning specifically the end of the Troubles and the arrangement made so I’ll not spoil it, I hope you enjoy! Lyrics below: Lyrics: [Verse 1] I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat And the loving English feet they walked all over us And each and every night when me father’d come home tight He’d invite the neighbors outside with this chorus [Chorus] Oh, come out you black and tans Come out and fight me like a man Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra [Verse 2] Come
