"*I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums the beat

And the loving English feet they went all over us

And every single night when me da' would came home tight

He'd invite the neighbors out with this chorus*"

"*Come out ye 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*"
