You Nasty Black and Tans

Oh Black and Tans, Oh Black and Tans
That old creature ordered you to our shore
With the discipline of an untrained mongrel
Mixed uniforms that you wore

Oh Black and Tans, Oh Black and Tans
More hideous than a sewer rat
Terrorising the defenceless of our great countryside
With your filthy feet,stomping on our mat

Oh Black and Tans, Oh Black and Tans
Proudly watching Cork torched to its knees
Murderous on the site of our gaelic games
Community panicking like a swarm of bees

Oh Black and Tans, Oh Black and Tans
In guerrilla warfare, you really weren't that smart
Your crowning achievements enraged the bear
Forced home two years after your destructive start
