- Come Out Ye Black & Tans is a song popularized during the Irish Revolution (1912-1923) and then re-popularized during "The Troubles" (1960's-1998) with Irish nationalist sentiments rearising in British-controlled Northern Ireland. This song includes a 5th, final verse I'd found mentioning specifically the end of the Troubles and the arrangement made so I'll not spoil it, I hope you enjoy! Lyrics below:
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
And the loving English feet they walked all over us
And each and every night when me father'd come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus
[Chorus]
Oh, come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
[Verse 2]
Come tell us how you slew
Those brave Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
How you bravely slew each one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow
[Chorus]
Oh, come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
[Verse 3]
Come let me hear you tell
How you slammed the great Parnell
When you thought us well and truly persecuted
Where are the smears and jeers
That you bravely let us hear
When our heroes of sixteen were executed
[Chorus]
Oh, come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
[Verse 4]
The time is coming fast
And I them days are here
When each yeoman will run before us
And if there be a need
Sure my kids will sing, "Godspeed!"
With a verse or two of this fine chorus
[Chorus]
Oh, come out you black and tans
Come out and fight me like a man
Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
from the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
[Verse 5]
Now while Ireland may be free
There are still the Six Counties
And the Yeoman they still stand there occupying us
But we’ve fought for decades now
And they, our freedom, now avow
And our brothers may now one day vote to join us
[Chorus]
Oh, you came out you black and tans
Came out and fought us like a man
Showed your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
But then the good old IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra - เพลง
Alright, We are finally coming up on the end of July and with it, the Community choice: "Come Out Ye Black and Tans". This song ended up going through multiple revisions including a version that included drums, violin, and flute which was scrapped due to integration with the vocals not working out very well. If you are interested in hearing what *almost was*, check out the Patreon link below. This song *does* include an extra verse that I came across which concludes the song. Check the description if you want an explanation as to the meaning/theme of the song (as I understand/intend it). As always, I want to thank the Patreons and invite you to join at the link:

i love your videos, you made a good impression of the irish accent, well, I'm not a good judge but to your average non-irish person it sounds a bit Irish, good job man
"Now while Ireland may be free there are still the Six Counties."
Goosebumps.
What can be more "Irish" than this?!
Love it man! Perhaps you should add more images for the videos to make it even better! ❤
I knew you'd do this one, one day...! Finally. Great as always Alderon!
I remember singing this at german scouts back in the day, with lyrics in dialectical spelling and little knowledge of History I barely understood what I was singing about.
Love it!
absolutly amazing. wow TAL!
It's here! Lovely.
I'd like to hear his version of "Солдат" . I'd play the hell out of that song if he relased it.
Thank you for always putting the context and background in the description. Had no idea the song dates back to the Great War. Explains the mention of Flanders,which I never quite understood.
Appreciate it as an irishmen the accent wasnt the worst I've heard
I love this song, for another song can you do a Polish one called „Pieśń Obrońców Częstochowy” (Song of the Defenders of Częstochowa) or even „Bij Bolszewika” (Beat the Bolshevik)

How can the song have been popularised during the Irish Revolution (1912-1923) as it was not written until about the 1950's by Dominic Behan who was only born in1928. The song is also about Irish Republicanism not Irish Nationalism as it was written in honour of a die-hard anti treaty Irish Republican called Stephen Behan (Dominic's father). FYI Also, "the loving English Feet" is a reference to Stephen's mother who was Irish not English.
do you mean english not irish or....
@@eggisfun4217 No I mean Irish. English was her surname not her nationality. Her name was Mrs Christine English (or Granny English as she was to the Behan boys) who was Irish not English, born Christine Corr in Dublin.
She was a well known Dublin evil shite of a slum landlady and Dominc Behan (the man who wrote the song) hated her for the way she treated his mother and father who rented a slum property from granny English at 14 Russell Street, Dublin. Hence his sarcastic swipe at his own grandmother.
If you had read Brendan Behan's "the LandLady" you would know all about granny English as the play was based on his grandmother Christine English. Just google "Brendan Behind and Christine English"
Most people think the song is about the real Black and Tans and the IRA during the WOI... but its not.
The term "Black and Tans" was just a term used by ex IRA man Stephen Behan (Dominic and Brendan's father) as form of insult to anglophile Irish loyalist living in Russell Street from 1928 to 1936, so some years after the Black and Tans ceased to exit.
Because the song says Come out ye Back and Tans and mentions the IRA, most think its really about the Black and Tans and the WOI, but it not it just an argument between Irish Republicans (which all the Behan's were) and Irish loyalists, its as simple as that.
BASED
Are any of your songs on spotify?
Could you possibly do "Unknown Soldiers"? It's a Hebrew song from the Lehi.
What does happen in the image?
Mmmm, I wonder if it's possible to make a Black n' Tans version
I think there is one called Bring Back the Black and Tans, but I've only seen a handful of versions out there.
Amazing song! Can you please make a 55 days at pekin but a Russian or French version? Thanks!
I am personally not confident enough in my Russian to do a Russian version, and I have atrocious pronunciation of French, and don't want to butcher that beautiful language either. Perhaps if I get some more practice, and maybe the aid of some Russian and French Speakers I'll try, but as of yet, I do not have that.😅
@Alderon Tyran okay thanks!
@@alderontyran How about German?
That ones pretty easy to get the hang of (:
Try out Cromwell, Protector of the Realm.
It's basically an advert for the IRA.
Is that really such a bad thing?
Can you do The Sash next please 🙏.
That would be for the horrible peepul
@@jabber67 they know how to smack a drum dude.
Come out and fight me like a man
Say the balaclava wearers who planted bombs and ran away
Zero self awareness
Little reminder that the British army and RUC shot up crowds of unarmed people on several different occasions.
Also this song is about the 1920s ira, this song was written almost a decade beforw the troubles started.
not a troubles song
Yeah the "run away" part is due to the little known fact that you *don't* want to be in the blast radius of a bomb when it goes off, kinda how that's supposed to work
This is about the Irish Revolution if I'm not mistaken, not the RIRA or whatever.
