Raised on Black and Tans
Gaelic Storm

I was raised on Black & Tans

Ronnie Drew and 'Van the Man'

I go off to mass on Sunday

And then it's back to the pub on Monday

I've got a sister Meghan

With a Celtic cross tattoo

I'll tell you a few stories

And every one of them is true

Chorus:

My mother's, brother's, sister's, cousin's, auntie's,

Uncle Barney's, father's, brother had a cousin from Killarney

My great-granddad and his mates

They tried to make it to the States

His great uncle, he was a failure

He got deported off to Australia

So they stowed upon a steamer

On the famous White Star Line

I was raised upon these stories

Since I was the age of nine

(Chorus)

Well my great-uncle, he liked the races

He liked the dogs and steeplechases

His wife, my dear old auntie

She kept a teashop way, way down in Bantry

But he fixed a race in Donegal

And now he's got to hide

With the sticky buns and cakes and guns

And whiskey on the side

(Chorus)

I was raised on Black & Tans

Ronnie Drew and 'Van the Man'

I go to mass on Sunday

And then it's back to the pub on Monday

I'm from the wrong side of the south side

Of an Irish neighbourhood

I've never been to Ireland

But I know it's in my blood
