[Verse 1]
I was bDmorn on a Dublin street where the RCoyal drums do beat
And the lDmoving English feet they walked all over us
And eaFch and every night when me father'd Ccome home tight
He'd inDmvite the neighbors Coutside with this cDmhorus
[Chorus]
Oh, come Dmout you black and tans
Come out and Cfight me like a man
Show your wDmife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them hFow the IRA made you ruCn like hell away
From the grDmeen and lovely lCanes in KillaDmshandra
[Verse 2]
Come tDmell us how you slew
Those Cbrave Arabs two by two
Like the ZuDmlus they had spears and bows and arrows
How you bFravely slew each one
With your sCixteen pounder gun
And you frDmightened them poor nCatives to their mDmarrow
[Chorus]
Oh, come oDmut you black and tans
Come out and Cfight me like a man
Show your wDmife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them hFow the IRA made you ruCn like hell away
From the grDmeen and lovely lCanes in KillaDmshandra
[Verse 3]
Come lDmet me hear you tell
How you slCandered great Parnell
When you fDmought them well and truly persecuted
Where aFre the smears and jeers
That you brCavely let us hear
When our Dmheroes of sCixteen were execDmuted
[Chorus]
Oh, come Dmout you black and tans
Come out and Cfight me like a man
Show your wDmife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them hFow the IRA made you ruCn like hell away
From the grDmeen and lovely lCanes in KillaDmshandra
[Verse 4]
The dDmay is coming fast
And the tiCme is here at last
When each yDmeoman will be cast aside before us
And Fif there be a need
Sure my Ckids wil sing, "Godspeed!"
With a vDmerse or two of SCteven Beehan's Dmchorus
[Chorus]
Oh, come Dmout you black and tans
Come out and Cfight me like a man
Show your wDmife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them hFow the IRA made you ruCn like hell away
From the grDmeen and lovely lCanes in KillaDmshandra
