red, black and tan
red, black and tanFrank Hogan and Jack Grant were out having a pint Down in ol Fiddown bout a hundred years ago No hurting anyone, just keeping to there own When eight black and tans walked through the door “EVERYBODY OUT” screamed the sergeant and all the smart ones go But Frank and Jack keep singing in the corner soft and low The sergeant says to Francie Meade the keeper of the inn “Who are these drunken bastards singing songs bout fenians?” “Yer grace” says good ol Francie “that’s Frank Hogan and Jack Grant And you cant kick them out its Frankies da that owns the land” The sergeant said to Francie “you don’t tell me what I do I say the filthy Irish bastards need to learn a thing or two Eight against two so about a fair fight But Frank and Jack got the raw end that night Out on their asses and into the rain Themselves alone and their pain “now get my boys your finest and remember this is true, If you ere cross me again Francie, the next time will be you” They settled in to make their plans but didn’t get too far When two drunk men with masks and guns came storming in the bar The cannons roared and rifles pealed, the bullets how they flew The sergeant caught one in the head and in the chest took two His men all died around him and the masked men got away And Francie Meade by gods good grace alone survived that day Eight against two, eight against two But now Frank and Jack got the drop on you The whole platoon down to the man the streets ran red black and tan Now Francies bar was shot to shit his bottles blown to bits He sent the crown a letter with a bill to pay for it They sent him reparations and with maybe half a smirk he up and hired Jack and Frank to do the work.
