Biography:
The Wolfe Tones is an Irish rebel music band that incorporates elements of Irish traditional music. Formed in 1963, their most recognizable line-up that lasted for nearly 37 years until January 2001 was brothers Brian Warfield and Derek Warfield, and Noel Nagle, and Tommy Byrne. The band take its name from the Irish rebel and patriot Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, with the double entendre of a wolf tone – a spurious sound that can affect instruments of the violin family.

[Verse 1]
Dm C
I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
Dm
And the loving English feet they walked all over us
F C
And each and every night when me father'd come home tight
Dm C Dm
He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
C
Come out and fight me like a man
Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
F C
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
Dm C Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
[Verse 2]
Dm
Come tell us how you slew
C
Those brave Arabs two by two
Dm
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
F
How you bravely slew each one
C
With your sixteen pounder gun
Dm C Dm
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
C
Come out and fight me like a man
Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
F C
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
Dm C Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
[Verse 3]
Dm
Come let me hear you tell
C
How you slandered great Parnell
Dm
When you fought them well and truly persecuted
F
Where are the smears and jeers
C
That you bravely let us hear
Dm C Dm
When our heroes of sixteen were executed
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
C
Come out and fight me like a man
Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
F C
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
Dm C Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
[Verse 4]
Dm
The day is coming fast
C
And the time is here at last
Dm
When each yeoman will be cast aside before us
F
And if there be a need
C
Sure my kids wil sing, "Godspeed!"
Dm C Dm
With a verse or two of Steven Beehan's chorus
[Chorus]
Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans

Come out and fight me like a man
