I was Am born in a Dublin street where the G loyal drums do beat
And the Am loving English feet they tramped all over us
And C each day and every night when my G father comes home tight
He'd Am invite the neighbours G outside with this Am chorus
[chorus]
Oh comeAm out ye Black and Tans, come out and G fight me like a man
Show your Am wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell C them how the IRA made you G run like hell away
From the Am green and lovely G lanes in KilleAmshandra
Come let Am me hear you tell how you've G slung the brave Parnell
When you Am thought him well and truly persecuted
Where C are your sneers and jeers that you G loudly let us hear
When Am our heroes of G '16 were Am executed
Alan Am Larkin and O'Brian held you G strong and called you swine
Robert Am Emmett who you hung and drew and quartered
High C upon the scaffold high, how you G butchered Henry Joy
And Am the Croppy Boys of G Wexford you did Am slaughter
Oh let me Am hear you slew them poor G Arabs two by two
Like the Am Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
How C you bravely faced each one with your G sixteen-pounder gun
And Am you've frightened them poor G natives to their Am marrows
(additional verse)
Well the Am day is closing fast and the G time will soon be past
When each Am dawning will be cast aside afore us
And C if I be in need then me kids G will say godspeed
With Am a bar or two of Stephen G Behan's Am chorus
