Says Lloyd-George to Macpherson,
" I'll give you the sack to uphold law
And order you haven't the knack
I'll send over Greenwood,
A much stronger man
And fill up the Green Isle
With the bold Black and Tan"

He sent them all over
To pillage and loot
And burn down the houses,
The inmates to shoot
"To re-conquer Ireland,
He said, is my plan
With Macready and Co.
And his bold Black and Tan"

The town of Balbriggan
They've burned to the ground
While bullets Like
Hailstones were whizzing around
And women left homeless by this evil clan
They've waged war on
The children, the bold Black and Tan

From Dublin to Cork and
From Thurles to Mayo
Lies a trail of destruction
Wherever they go
With England to help and
Fierce passions to fan
She must feel bloody proud
Of her bold Black and Tan

Ah, then not by the terrors
Of England's foul horde
For ne'er could a nation be
Ruled by the sword
For our country we'll have yet
In spite of her plan
Or ten times the number
Of bold Black and Tan

We defeated Conscription
In spite of their threats
And we're going to defeat
Old Lloyd-George and his pets
For Ireland and Freedom
We're here to a man
And we'll humble the pride
Of the bold Black and Tan
