COME OUT YOU BLACK AND TANS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m296tHPIlsY



I was born on a Dublin street where the loyal drums do 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 neighbours 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 slammed the great Pernell,
When you fought them well and truly persecuted,
Where are the smears and jeers
That you loudly let us hear
When our leaders of sixteen 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 oul Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bow an arrows,
How bravely you faced one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them poor 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 an will run before us,
And if there 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

THE GARRYOWEN

1.Let Bacchus' sons be not dismayed
But join me each jovial blade
Come, drink and sing, and lend your aid,
To help me with the chorus.

Chorus.
sInstead of Spa we'll drink down ale,
And pay the reckn'ning on the nail
No man for debt shall go to jail
From GarryOwen in glory.

2. We are the boys who take delight in
Smashing the Limerick lights when lightning;
Through the streets like spotters fighting
And clearing all before us.

3.We'll break windows, we'll break down doors
The watch knock down by three and fours;
Then let the doctors work their cures,
And tinker up our bruises

4. We'll beat the bailiffs out of fun
We'll make the mayors and the sheriffs run;
We are the boys no man dares dun,
If he regards a whole skin.

5. Our hearts so stout have got us fame
For soon 'tis from whence we came;
Where'er we go they dread the name,
Of GarryOwen in Glory.

Over The Hills and far away
This song is kind of long because a verse is sung at the ed of each sharpe's so two of the verses at the end aren't in the video.watch sharpe's)

Here's forty shillings on the drum
For those who'll volunteer to come
To 'list and fight the foe today.
Over the hills and far away.

Chorus
O'er the hills and o'er the main.
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.
King George commands and we obey.
Over the hills and far away.

When duty calls me I must go
To stand and face another foe.
But part of me will always stray
Over the hills and far away.


If I should fall to rise no more,
As many comrades did before,
Then ask the fifes and drums to play.
Over the hills and far away.

Chorus

Then fall in lads behind the drum,
With colours blazing like the sun.
Along the road to come-what may.
Over the hills and far away.

Chorus

Through smoke and fire and shot and shell
Unto the very walls of hell
We shall stand and we shall stay
Over the hills and far away

Chorus

Let Kings and tyrants come and go
I'll stand ajudged by what I know
A soldier's life I'll ne'er gainsay
Over the hills and far away

I could post thousands more but there you are.
Have fun
