letra de rifles of the i.r.a - bogside volunteers

[verse 1]
in nineteen hundred and sixteen
the forces of the crown
for to capture orange, white and green
bombarded dublin town
but in ’21, britannia’s huns
began to earn their pay when
the black and tans, like lightning ran
from the rifles of the ira

[verse 2]
they burned their way through munster
laid leinster on the rack
through connacht and through ulster
marched the men in brown and black
they cut down wives and children
in their own heroic way when
the black and tans, like lightning ran
from the rifles of the ira

[verse 3]
they hanged young kevin barry high
just a lad of eighteen years
cork city’s flames lit up the sky
but our brave boys knew no fear
the cork brigade with hand grenades
in ambush waiting lay when
the black and tans, like lightning ran
from the rifles of the ira
[verse 4]
the tans were taken out and shot
by a brave and fearless few
sean treacy, denny, lacey
and tom barry’s famous crew
we’re not free yet but we won’t forget
until our dying day how
the black and tans, like lightning ran
from the rifles of the ira

[outro]
sure we’re not free yet but we won’t forget
until our dying day how
the black and tans, like lightning ran
from the rifles of the ira
