You can find BLACK AND TANS in an album called The Very Best of Irish Rebel Songs by The Jolly Beggarman put out by Fiesta Record Company 251 Broadway, Lynbrook NY 11563

The lyrics go:

I was born on a Dublin street
Where the royal drums did beat
And the loving English feet they tramped all over us;
And each and every night
That my father came home tight,
He’d invite the neighbors outside with this chorus:

Well, come out you Black and Tans.
Come out and fight me like a man.
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders,
And how the IRA
Made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandras. (sp?)

Come let me hear you tell
How you slammed the brave Parnell
When you thought him well and truly persecuted,
And where are the jeers and sneers
You so gladly let us hear
When our heroes of '16 were executed?

Chorus

Come tell us how you slew
Them poor Arabs 2 by 2.
Like the Zulus, they had spears and bows and arrows.
How you bravely faced each one
With your sixteen-pounder gun,
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow.

Chorus

Well the day is coming fast
And the time is near at last
When each seanin will be cast aside before us;
And if there is a need,
Well, my kids will say God speed
With a verse or two of Stephen B (sp?) in chorus.
