  Letra 
  
  In nineteen hundred and sixteen
  The forces of the crown
  To take the orange,white and green,
  Bombarded Dublin Town
  But in '21, Brittania's sons
  Were forced to earn their pay,
  When the Black and tans,
  Like lightning ran
  From the rifles of the IRA!
  
  They burned their way through Munster
  And laid Leinster on the rack
  In Connaught and then Ulster
  Marched those men of brown and black
  They shot down wives and children
  In their own heroic way
  And the Black and Tans,
  Like lightning ran
  From the rifles of the IRA!
  
  They hanged young Kevin Barry high
  A lad of eighteen years
  Cork City's flames lit up in the sky
  But our brave boys knew no fear
  The Cork brigade with hand grenades
  In ambush wait and lay,
  And the black and tans,
  Like lightning ran
  From the Rifles of the IRA!
  
  The tans, they were got, taken out and shot
  By our brave and our fearless few
  Sean Treacy, Dinny Lacey
  And Tom Barry's gallant crew
  Though we're not free yet, we won't forget
  Until our dying day,
  How the black and tans,
  Like lightning ran
  From the Rifles of the IRA!
  How the black and tans,
  Like lightning ran
  From the Rifles of the IRA!
