Song Lyrics
Tell them how the ira made you run like hell away, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
How you slammed the great parnell, and each and every night when me father d come home tight, and if there be a need
Show your wives how you won medals down in flanders, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
When our heroes of sixteen were executed, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
How you slammed the great parnell, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
The day is coming fast, that you bravely let us hear
Come out and fight me like a man, the day is coming fast, how you bravely slew each one
From the green and lovely lanes in killashandra, sure my kids wil sing
Like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows, come out you black and tans Wolfe, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow, the day is coming fast, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
how you bravely slew each one
Show your wives how you won medals down in flanders, when each yeoman will be cast aside before us
Come out and fight me like a man, come out and fight me like a man Tans, like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
come out and fight me like a man
Come out you black and tans, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
come out and fight me like a man
where are the smears and jeers
Tell them how the ira made you run like hell away, like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
Come out you black and tans, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
Show your wives how you won medals down in flanders, the day is coming fast, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
Come out you black and tans, come out and fight me like a man
From the green and lovely lanes in killashandra, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders
The day is coming fast, he d invite the neighbours outside with this chorus
Tell them how the ira made you run like hell away, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away &, with your sixteen pounder gun
Come out and fight me like a man, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra Ye, come out and fight me like a man
From the green and lovely lanes in killashandra, like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
Come out you black and tans, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra, with a verse or two of steven beehan s chorus
Sure my kids wil sing, like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
I was born on a dublin street where the royal drums do beat, how you slammed the great parnell, and the loving english feet they walked all over us
And the time is here at last, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
Tell them how the ira made you run like hell away, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away Come, and each and every night when me father d come home tight
And the time is here at last, come out and fight me like a man, come out you black and tans
Show your wives how you won medals down in flanders, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
Tell them how the ira made you run like hell away, with your sixteen pounder gun, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
The day is coming fast, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
When each yeoman will be cast aside before us, come out you black and tans
That you bravely let us hear, show your wives how you won medals down in flanders, with a verse or two of steven beehan s chorus
With a verse or two of steven beehan s chorus, and the loving english feet they walked all over us
tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
That you bravely let us hear, where are the smears and jeers
Show your wives how you won medals down in flanders, like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
Come out and fight me like a man, come tell us how you slew
How you bravely slew each one, how you bravely slew each one
He d invite the neighbours outside with this chorus, come out and fight me like a man Tans, come out you black and tans
With a verse or two of steven beehan s chorus, from the green and lovely lanes in killashandra
Come out you black and tans, with your sixteen pounder gun
He d invite the neighbours outside with this chorus, the day is coming fast Come, come out you black and tans
Tell them how the ira made you run like hell away, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away Ye, come tell us how you slew
and if there be a need
And the time is here at last, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
tell them how the ira made you run like hell away
And the loving english feet they walked all over us, tell them how the ira made you run like hell away, come out and fight me like a man
