Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Says Lloyd-George to Macpherson, “l give you the sack,
\n To uphold law and order you haven’t the knack,
\n I’ll send over Greenwood, a much stronger man,
\n And fill up the Green Isle with the bold Black and Tan.”<\/p>\n

He sent them all over to pillage and loot
\n And burn down the houses, the inmates to shoot .
\n ” To re-conquer Ireland, he said, is my plan
\n With Macready and Co. and his bold Black and Tan.”<\/p>\n

The town of Balbriggan they’ve burned to the ground
\n While bullets Like hailstones were whizzing around;
\n And women left homeless by this evil clan.
\n They’ve waged war on the children, the bold Black and Tan.<\/p>\n

From Dublin to Cork and from Thurles to Mayo
\n Lies a trail of destruction wherever they go;
\n With England to help and fierce passions to fan,
\n She must feel bloody proud of her bold Black and Tan.<\/p>\n

Ah, then not by the terrors of England’s foul horde,
\n For ne’er could a nation be ruled by the sword;
\n For our country we’ll have yet in spite of her plan
\n Or ten times the number of bold Black and Tan.<\/p>\n

We defeated Conscription in spite of their threats,
\n And we’re going to defeat old Lloyd-George and his pets;
\n For Ireland and Freedom we’re here to a man,
\n And we’ll humble the pride of the bold Black and Tan.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
