Alle die mit uns auf Kaperfahrt fahren, müssen Männer mit Bärten sein. Jan und Hein und Klaas und Pit, die haben Bärte, die haben Bärte. Jan und Hein und Klaas und Pit, die haben Bärte, die fahren mit.

  • The Wolfe Tones - Rifles Of The IRA
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuAjZk0mYH0

    In nineteen hundred and sixteen
    The forces of the crown
    For to take Orange, White, and Green
    Bombarded Dublin Town
    But in ’21, Britannia’s sons
    Were forced earn their pay, when
    The black and tans, like lightning ran
    From the Rifles of the IRA!

    They burned their way through Munster
    Then laid Leinster on the rack
    Through Connacht, and through Ulster
    Marched the men in brown and black
    They shot down wives and children
    In their own heroic way, but
    The black and tans, like lightning ran
    From the Rifles of the IRA!

    They hanged young Kevin Barry high
    a lad of eighteen years
    Cork City’s flames lit up in the sky
    But our brave lads new no fear
    The Cork brigade with hand-grenades
    In ambush wait and lay, and
    The black and tans, like lightning ran
    From the Rifles of the IRA!

    The tans were got, taken out and shot
    By a brave and valiant few
    Sean Treacy, Dinny Lacey
    And Tom Barry’s gallant crew
    Though we’re not free yet
    We won’t forget
    Until our dying day, how
    The black and tans, like lightning ran
    From the Rifles of the IRA!
