- Come Out Ye Black And Tans - The Wolfe Tones (Cover) by Seth Staton Watkins
It's finally here! I know many of you have requested a full version of this song for a few weeks now and I apologize for the delay.
"Come Out Ye Black and Tans" is an Irish rebel song about the Irish war of independence. The "black and tans" refers to the color of the uniform worn by the British reinforcements stationed in Dublin to reinforce the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) in 1920. The song was written by Dominic Behan as a tribute to his Irish Republican Army (IRA) father Stephen, who had fought in the War of Independence. The song though referencing the war of independence is about the dispute between republican and unionist neighbors in inner-city Dublin in the Irish Free State era of the mid-1920s.

Fun fact, Britain is the worlds largest producer of independence days
Hahaha
Now that I think about it, that would make a lot of sense
ha
i thought that was spain.
Lmfao
I promise not to get political
7 pints of Guinness later
Same
Hahah
arthur guiness was a unionist

Single malt if your buying
I’m Indian and my partner is of English descent. She made the mistake of inviting me to an Irish wedding and we all started singing this song, her side of the family was not impressed but I had a whale of time.
Excellent!
Love to hear it 😂
Its good ye chose the right side then lol and dont forget irelands leader is half east indian very good people and hard workers all
Hahaha bloody Protestants up to no good as usual 😂😂😂 Erin go bragh brotha
theres an unquestionable depth of blood between Irish and english. Even after the revolution there was The Troubles. The bombings. the killings. Still a very fresh wound.
“show your wife how you won medals down in flanders” is such a badass and raw fucking line when you know the history of this song and who the black and tans were. great rendition man!
I've been looking online to find out what this means but I can't can you inform me.
@@camerondiflo3828 this song was (probably) written during the Irish war of independence. During the Civil war the Black and tans were a British paramilitary forces trying to stop the nationalists and committed war crimes. The line means that you show your medals to your wife during WW1 in flanders since all of the soldiers in the black and tans were WW1 veterans.
@@austrianempireguy4344 thanks
@@camerondiflo3828 no problem
@@austrianempireguy4344 pretty spot on. The black and tans were part of the RIC
As a proud irish man I just wanted to say that many people dislike this song, many people may tell to leave these to the Irish but I don't want you to ever stop, I follow your tiktok and I understand you have a love for our country and I can feel the respect you have for the words you say, I recommend "she moved through the fair"! Keep up the incredible sound!
Thank you, I will!
I'm Welsh and I think this songs great
As an American hell yeah
I am an American by birth, but Irish by blood, I think Rebel songs and art have great value.
I see nothing but love for this song
Never thought an American would do a worthy cover of Come Out Ye Black and Tans. Fair play boyo
Thank you laddie
I mean we fought the English too 😂
@@slimmestjim7517 Who didn't 😂
We fought them too and tried to take our land and rights and we didn’t let them and I as a Mexican American/Native American catholic see them as a common enemy we need a brexit but an Irish one where England is brought to its knees
@@yayuman3486 Fair point, but who didn't fight the British? This song was made by the IRA, or the Irish Republican Army, so it's seen as an Irish song
My dad used to sing this to me when I was a little girl as a lullaby... I miss you daddy I hope you are safe and happy in heaven.
Lyrics!!!
I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums did beat
And those loving English feet they walked all over us
Oh and every single every night when me da would come home tight
He'd invite the neighbors out with this fine chorus
Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Oh and how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
Come tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
Oh, how you bravely faced one with your sixteen pounder gun
And you frightened them poor natives to the marrow
Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Oh and how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
Come let us hear you tell how you slammed the great Pernell
And thought him well and truly persecuted
Where are the smears and jeers that you loudly let us hear
When our leaders of '16 were executed?
Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Oh and how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
Oh the time is coming fast and I think those days are here
When those English Johnny's heels will run before us
Oh if there be a need then our kids will say 'godspeed' with a verse or two of singing this fine chorus
Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Oh and how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
Come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
Oh and how the IRA made you run like hell away
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
It's lanes of Killashandra. He's saying lakes but he's wrong.
Thank you!
What does English Johnny's heels mean?
@@henrichgerken4254 I think the original lyrics say "Seonín traitors" Seonín is Irish for little John which was slang for English after "John Bull" it's. It's just saying the English will be running away.
@@marshallferron thanks mate
I’m an Irishman and this song makes me just feel more alive than ever.
You're a tough bunch.
Today (8 Sept 2022) is the perfect day to listen to this on loop
Halfway there! Just get to iTunes so I can give you my money!
I don't know why I suddenly felt the urge to listen to this on this lovely 8th of September day in 2022.
It's a holiday
Man
That’s make me feel Irish
And I am German🤣
Willkommen im Club, genossen
I'm American and i love this song
Wir in deutschland hatten die Wiedervereinigung schon
We in germany already had the reunion
Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Kommentarbereich!
In 1916 the Germans were going to supply weapons to the rebels for the Easter Rising, but the British did intercept them.
From a 3rd generation American born of two families coming here on boats from Ireland, the songs you sing bring me back to my childhood. I grew up hearing many of them as we worked our ranch
Absolutely outstanding singing Seth, this is the best version of the song I've ever heard, I'm not joking. I also love the at use use editing to make the sort of echo behind it. New fan from Derry ☘🇮🇪
Thank you, friend!
I clicked on this (recommended by RUclips) expecting not to like it. I was blown away! Thanks algorithm.
Glad you liked it!
I have the same story lol
I love this tune for certain though.
My grandfather fought in the Hungarian revolution of '56, so songs of freedom, rebellion, and independence hold a special place in my heart.
It seems to me that most Hungarians have forgotten their past. It's unbelievable how far the Magyars have fallen now under Orban.
@@Nhkg17In a way it's understandable. We never had a successfull rebellion, I think after 3 big fails the nation just collectively gave up.
You should cover "My little armalite"
"how bravely you faced one with your 16 pounder gun" that line always sounds sarcastic to me
Because it is!
It is, they would use technology lightyears ahead of the native force to have an easy victory.
It very much is sarcastic.
That's the point.....
"Lovely english feet" and the story with the Arabs are sarcastic, too. The Empire has given back a lot yet, starting with Palestine, Hongkong as well and there's still a lot more to give back.
Thanks to Irish Republic Songs 🎵 I came across with this song , it's an amazing, mystical song. Well done 👏 Greetings from Romania 🇮🇪🇷🇴
POV: you’re a British soldier marching through the woods in Ireland and you start hearing this in the distance
"Nightmare fuel" for every Brit🤣🤣🤣!
Are we gonna get a full cover of "I wanna be in the cavalry"? I prefer your version to the original.
Possibly!
@@sethstatonwatkins YES please
Full cover and full cover of the reprise!
@@sethstatonwatkins I would love to listen to thath
@@sethstatonwatkins PLEASE
Been waiting for this ❤️ this is favourite ever version of this song. Happy Easter from Ireland 🇮🇪
Happy Easter to you as well!
it's good but ist's missing last chorus.
These days, it's increasingly rare to find artists who haven't been corrupted by the system and don't just kiss up to it. However, I recently stumbled upon Seth Staton Watkins, and I'm not only captivated by his incredible vocal abilities and sound, but also by his humanity and activism for what's right. Such integrity is rare in today's world, where many artists seem to sell their souls to blend in with the corrupted system controlled by powerful lobbyists. I have two loves: Palestine and Ireland.
I found out im a bit Irish. I wont claim to hve any ties to the place but fuck i love songs like this. it just sounds right
I'm in the same boat, but my grandma found out that part of my family came to America in chains
If you're a bit Irish then you have ties to the place ;) Don't let the naysayers tell you otherwise. The blood & history still run in your veins :)
If you don't know your clan, or any of those kinds of family ties, there are clans made for those who have light/no genetic ties to Ireland. The irish are an accepting people and as long as your respectful, it is more than appropriate to enjoy everything and anything that the culture has to offer
I'm not even Irish and this song makes me want to to go fight every Englishmen I see
To be fair 90% of the world fought the englishmen at one point or another XD
Many have tried. *Tried*
HAHAHA Thats hilarious man.
@@stevebobmcjocksock4021 we beat 'em!!!
@@SkyBrigidRain 🇺🇸
What a beautiful remake! Could listen to this all day with no trouble at all.
Cheers!
@Seán O’Hanlan Sláinte!
Love those iconic Irish harmonies...
Your voice to this day still gives me goosebumps
This is a piece of history. To ignore history, to not face it, is to repeat it. People may not like to face the ugliness of what has gone before, but that doesn't detract from it's worth.
English kids after they finally realise the Irish were the good guys:
I'm playing a game mode in Arma where I'm a small resistance faction and this is definitely going to be a part of the soundtrack
My ancestors hail from Province Connaught, and I showed to some cousins over there and they loved it.
Seth you are such a remarkable young man! I so appreciate and enjoy every song that I've heard you perform. Proud too to have Irish blood running through my veins thanks to my grandmother from County Wicklow. God bless you.
This is probably the best version of this song that I have heard. I found you on RUclips yesterday and hope you keep producing traditional music like this.
I’m only like 1/64 Irish and still this song gets me going.
I love this song as an Irishwoman myself I am proud of you mate keep making Irish music!!
A fine Irish woman, too I bet!
My friend is a full on British boi and thinks there the best so I play this whenever we play some games to win. Thanks for a way better version and I hope you stay safe!!
This is the best rendition of a classic. It takes guts and talent to set the bar higher on such a popular song.
True
How you haven’t blown up with your covers is beyond me. Best cover of rebel music I’ve ever heard brother ! This might be a song you might want to check out it American but it’s a good song of good man standing up The Battle Of Blair Mountain
Song by David Rovics
I’ll check it out!
100% would love to hear that one
Regardless of your opinion on the subject matter, you can't deny that it sounds incredible.
My grandfather left Ireland because he was sick of the heavy british boot. FREE IRELAND! 🇮🇪
Where did he immigrate?
Ireland is free Ireland is split by two democracies the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom change my mind
@Kacey McGurgan it’s free real estate
@Kacey McGurgan no it was a group of people who went and caused chaos cause of a piece of land that wasn’t owned by ireland
Never forget what happened last century 😔
I love how many Irish songs start with,
(Stands chest to chest with the British)
"Hello sir!" (Spits in British face)
This is the song that I found you from Tiktok! Thank you so much for uploading the full cover. Your voice is beautiful and you do the song 1000% justice. Love from a proud Irish lassie 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
I'm from the usa and i love this song i don't know why but this is the best version of this song i heard
You heard the Wolfe Tones version?
@@andrewp8284 Yes and i didn't like it
This is about to blow up
I'm a 18yo russian girl but this song wakes an Irish fighter up inside me
Me, an American: “Yeah of course we’ve had conflict in the past but England’s our ally now.”
Me after hearing this song: *wants to siege Buckingham Palace*
I mean you could burn it how they burnt the white house
Same though
I'm English, I will join you in siege of Buckingham. No-one hates the English military, government and royalty like us English!
@@Soundwave._ I don’t know whether to let you join me or be concerned
@@alexis8500 I'll betray my country for cheap, just get me some of those American poptarts and we're good to go. If you need someone on the inside, I'm yer lad.
SETH THIS IS ANOTHER ONE YOU NEED TO PUT ON ITUNES BRO!!!!! PLEASE I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG!!!!!!
A good day to play this song.
Love ya, laddy. This one’s one of my favorites from way way back in the day 😊❤️
How many pubs sing this still
He sings this song the best I have ever heard it sung. Excellent!
My favorite version I’ve ever heard. So glad you made it! Would love to buy it on iTunes!
So happy to finally have a full version. Very nice job. Happy Easter from California.
This is just a bunch of "English imperialism sucks" and I'm here for it
I'll defend our British brethren right up until we are taking about the late 18th century
@wolf same
@@weebishusername9288 seriously? 🤣🤣 the entire English empire was a war crime
@@ItsOrganicDontPanic What nation exists that isnt? Nations are built on blood and power, it's the foundation that our modern lives are built upon.
@@HeronMarkedBlade-ef7zz yes but the British empire literally was worse than Germany during the 30 and 40's...it's not an excuse "saying everyone did it", because you still see people remembering in good ways their bloody empire. Empires are bad from the concept...so if your nation got the largest empire in modern history that means you have been the bad guy.
Dang sounds so beautiful much love from North Carolina USA
I will pay any money to be able to listen to this in my playlist
I need that suit
Bro as someone who's part Palestinian and knows what the Irish have gone thru, this pumps me up for greater hope! Thanks for everything you do mate
Love and surport for Palestine from Ireland 🇮🇪❤🇵🇸
Palestine has been of a great help in the irish rebellion.
Glory to both of them!
🇮🇱❤🇮🇱❤🇮🇱
Ok, badass song.
Wow, great interpretation.
I'm blasting this load as hell at work. Especially when one of the owners of the company I work at had the nerve today to reference everyone who works here for him as "Peasants". The dude is from the U.K
Fuck the Crown
Down with tyranny in the workplace
@@sethstatonwatkins Amen to that my dude
My dad told me about songs like this from when he was a kid
Gives me chills man
I've been into Irish folk for well over a year and some of your music is the best I've come across. Keep it up.
Folk my backside. Songs of terrorism more like
@@ulsterinfidel9897 who are the real terrorists? the IRA who had a kill count of just under 2000 between 1969 to 1994, or the english who killed millions of Irish, to the point where we just recovered our numbers recently
I absolutely love this song. I really enjoyed the altered version from tiktok. Come out ye Councils Boys.
Hello Seth,
Im from Poland and from a long time i was looking at Your songs. I admire especially this track. That independence at those words is priceless. As far as I can understand its all about mans dignity. Keep doing that great work.
Fuckin class cover of the song, well done, would love to hear more
Freedom forever whoever want to fight.
Freedom for Ireland and Ireland people's.
Finally! My dreams are complete!! Fantastic job!
My mum is Irish and I love listening to these songs no political motive just bloody good music .
So excited to finally hear the full version, and it was amazing
You've got my sub, brother! Tiocfaidh ár lá! Greetings from Germany! ✊🙂
Amazing mate, no doubt you’ll nail Foggy dew if you were ever to do that
I’m half Irish, have Scottish. Seth is amazing. I’ve been introducing it to my grand kids and they too love it.
What a tune and beautifully said about our struggle
nice mk 5 gti mate
RESPECT FROM THE SERBIA 🇷🇸
I sang along, one of my favorites
Love how there is a tint of Irish accent in his voice while singing
90% he is Irish
Oh cool didn’t know since I haven’t seen anything but this from this guy
@@Dpb_2008 He’s American but he does a lot of Irish folksongs/shanties often
I’m half Irish half Scott. With bout 19% old Norse in the middle. As a US Citizen we will need this mind set soon.
To hear you sing this in a pub would be amazing. Love your voice and so glad I found you!
Yes!!!! Thank you!!!!!!! God bless you and God bless Ireland!!!! Our heritage is great!!!! Btw Happy Easter!!!!!
I don't care that I'm 1/4th English, this song makes me feel like a pure Irishman.
This is amazing! Thank you so much for making this!
This song has been stuck in my head all day at work.
Amazing as always!
This absolutely amazing!
Thank you for doing a full cover of this song. It's one of my favorites
That bright, bristly harmony is driving me crazy.
I spent the last few weeks trying to listen to the full song, I heard about 6 different renditions and I turned them all off because it wasn't the same as yours. Thank you for doing this!
My pleasure! Glad you like it!
Happy Easter! Love this song!
☘
I hear "Black and Tan" and I get thirsty. Guinness and Red Ale! My favourite!
Purely amazing! Great stuff, Seth! Probably the best version I've heard yet.
Finally, I have been waiting for this cover!!
Thank you I've been waiting for this
This is a better cover than half of what shows up in my Spotify stations. Great job.
I love this guy he’s got a great voice, you gotta get on Apple Music I’d love to listen to his music
I liked the cadence of your TikTok version better but I'm not gonna lie, I have been waiting for this forever.
Outstanding lad thank you 👏
Thanks for the truth well said Excellent music 🎉🎉🎉❤.
Man.. Great voice. This is my favorite version of this song by a mile.
