Lyrics
Like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
come tell us how you slew
come out you black and tans
Come tell us how you slew, come out you black and tans, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
Come out and fight me like a man, with a verse or two of steven beehan s chorus Black, come tell us how you slew
and each and every night when me father d come home tight
Show your wives how you won medals down in flanders, with a verse or two of steven beehan s chorus, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
and you frightened them poor natives to their marrow
i was born on a dublin street where the royal drums do beat
show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
the day is coming fast
The day is coming fast, i was born on a dublin street where the royal drums do beat, come let me hear you tell
And the loving english feet they walked all over us, when you fought them well and truly persecuted, he d invite the neighbours outside with this chorus

Come out you black and tans, come out and fight me like a man
Like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
and the time is here at last
