Thread Name: Origins: Come Out Ye Black and Tans
Subject: RE: Who wrote 'Come out ye Black and Tans?'
Dominic Behan wrote many fine songs, using traditional melodies. My favorite is "The Sea Around Us" (...Long may it flow between England and me.) Brendan, probably, wrote "The Old Triangle".
It is of some interest that their uncle wrote "The Soldier's Song", which was adopted as the nation anthem of Ireland.
