Raised On Black And Tans Lyrics - Cabbage - Gaelic Storm

Uno, dos tres 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

Photos 

(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 

(Chorus)
