I was raised on Black & Tans Ronnie Drew and 'Van the Man' I go off to ma** 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 k**arney 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 ma** 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
