THE THIRD WEST CORK BRIGADE
We'll raise our voice in Irelands praise. Glad are our hearts today For her gallant sons have proved their worth In the good old I.R.A.. All parts fought well for Roisin Dubh But we have a record made In good old Cork. In brave old Cork In the 3rd West Cork Brigade.
At Clewcestown we struck a blow For Ireland and Sinn Fein. At Ballinhassig next we stood Those nights we could maintain. The British foe, we twice laid low We fought them undismaged In good old Cork. In Brave West Cork In the fighting 3rd Brigade.
And at Crossbarry's battlefield Our gallant boys fought well; For ten to one the Saxon foe Before our eyes they fell. And o'er the hills we made our way While our gallant pipers played For good old Cork, for brave West Cork For the 3rd West Cork Brigade.
