1. From East to West, from North to South, They tried to hunt the column out But the tans were forced to go without The boys of Barry's Column. 2. In armoured cars they came to stay, And wipe the Irish cowards away But oh, the lovely holiday Was stopped by Barry's Column. |: Refrain :| 3. By, George might have some wiley tricks And have the volunteers to fix Yet all his black and tans go sick When they think of Barry's Column.

4. His ships all come in red and black, No tanks or war equipment lack Yet o'er the sea, they'll ne'er get back If caught by Barry's Column. |: Refrain :| 5. Along the lonely road they wind Armed in front, and armed behind "We're sorry, but that bridge is mine" Said the lads of Barry's Column. 6. They stopped to rest just for a spell Some hand-grenades upon them fell "Here sort them out among yourselves" Said the lads from Barry's Column. |: Refrain :|

Refrain: Oh but isn't great to see The Tommies and the R.I.C. The black and tans and the Staters flee Away from Barry's Column.
