Testo Black and Tans - Shamróg
Testo della canzone Black and Tans (Shamróg), tratta dall'album Rebels & Heroes
I was born on a Dublin street where the loyal drums did beat
And those loving English feet, they walked all over us
And every single night when me da' would come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors out with this chorus
Come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA
Made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Come, let us hear you tell
How you slandered great Pernell
When you thought him well and truly persecuted
Oh, where are the sneers and jeers
That you loudly let us hear?
When our leaders of 16 were executed
Come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA
Made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Come tell us how you slew
Them old Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus, they had spears and bows and arrows
How bravely you faced one with your 16 pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to their marrow
Come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA
Made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Now the time is coming fast
And I think them days are here
When each English Shawneen, he'll run before us
And if there'll be a need
Then our kids will say "Godspeed"
With a verse or two of singing, this fine chorus
Come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA
Made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA
Made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
