gaelic storm – raised on black and tans lyrics
uno, dos tres
i was raised on black & tans
ronnie drew and ‘van the man’
i go off to m-ss 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 m-ss 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
(chorus)
