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
SundayAnd then it's back to the pub on
MondayI've got a sister
MeghanWith 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
KillarneyMy great-granddad and his mates
They tried to make it to the
StatesHis great uncle, he was a failure
He got deported off to
AustraliaSo they stowed upon a steamer
On the famous
White Star
LineI 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
BantryBut he fixed a race in
DonegalAnd 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
SundayAnd then it's back to the pub on
MondayI'm from the wrong side of the south side
Of an Irish neighbourhood
I've never been to
IrelandBut
I know it's in my blood
