Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Come tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears, bows and arrows
How brave you faced one with your 16-pounder gun
And you frightened them natives to their marrow
Come tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two Like the Zulus, they had spears, bows, and arrows How brave you faced one with your 16-pounder gun

Come out ye black and tans! come out and fight me like a man! Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders! Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra!
Come let us hear you tell how you slandered great Parnell When you fought them well and truly persecuted Where are the sneers and jeers that you loudly let us hear
When our leaders of sixteen were executed?
