“BLACK & TANS” – SONG LYRICS

Lyrics for the song “Black & Tans”, which is part of the album “1993” by Nathan.

 
[Verse 1]
This is a song
About an Irish family
So, sit down
And listen closely 
Back in 1910
When the civil war broke out
Little Dennis was born
And his mother died
After some years
His father and brother died
They were shot down in war
Against the Black & Tans
I will never understand
Why all this happened to me
Why all us thought
We could be a happier family
 
[Chorus]
I will never (I will never)
Understand
Oh, why this all happened to me
I will never (I will never)
Understand
Oh, why this all happened to me
To my brother and me
To my mother and me
 
[Instrumental break]
 
[Verse 2]
Standing all alone
Nobody’s taken care of me
I grew up alone
Without peace and family
I will never understand
Why I had to go
I had to leave
Our sweet home
So, people ask yourself
Why does it have to be
That war destroys
So many families
 
[Chorus]
I will never (I will never)
Understand
Oh, why this all happened to me
I will never (I will never)
Understand
Oh, why this all happened to me
To my brother and me
To my father and me
