爱尔兰的Rebel Song充满了民乐风格，当然对英国的鄙视也不是一般的高。

歌中所唱的Black and Tans指的是黑棕部队(英语：Black and Tans，爱尔兰语：Dúchrónaigh)，指皇家爱尔兰警队后备队(英语：Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force，爱尔兰语：Fórsa Chúltaca Chonstáblacht Ríoga na hÉireann)，是皇家爱尔兰警队部署的两支准军事部队之一，用于镇压爱尔兰共和军在爱尔兰发动的革命。这支部队因为抓不住IRA经常拿平民出气，在爱尔兰的名声很糟糕（具体可以看看电影《风吹麦浪》中英军的表现）
歌词：
I was born on a Dublin street where the Loyal drums did beat
And the loving English feet walked all over us,
And every single night when me father'd come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus:

    (chorus)
    Oh, come out you black and tans,
    Come out and fight me like a man
    Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
    Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away,
    From the green and lovely lanes in Killeshandra.
（佛兰德斯意指一战时的西线，凯勒斯山德拉是爱尔兰的一个小镇）
Come tell us how you slew
Them ol' Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows,
How you bravely faced each one
With your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them damn natives to their marrow.
（这一段讽刺的是祖鲁战争和1930年代巴勒斯坦的阿拉伯暴动）
[chorus]

Come let us hear you tell
How you slandered great Parnell,
When you thought him well and truly persecuted,
Where are the sneers and jeers
That you bravely let us hear
When our heroes of sixteen were executed.
（帕讷尔是爱尔兰民族运动的领袖之一，下议院议员；“16位英雄”指的是在复活节暴动中被绞死的16名叛军）
[chorus]

The day is coming fast
And the time is here at last,
When each yeoman will be cast aside before us,
And if there be a need
Sure my kids wil sing, "Godspeed!"
With a bar or two of Stephen Behan's chorus
[chorus]

An alternate concluding verse is sometimes sung:

The day is coming fast
And it will soon be here at last
When North and South again belong to Erin
And when John Bull is gone,
We'll all join in this song,
And the trumpets of freedom will be blarin'

[chorus]

Another alternate verse:

Ahh the time is coming fast
and I think them days are neer
when each English shod in heel
will run before us
and if there be a need
then our kids will say "god speed"
with a verse or two of singing this mine chorus
PS：没见过这么自豪的恐怖分子，又是写音乐又是拍电影的.......
