[Verse 1]
We'll raise our voices in Ireland's praise
Glad are our hearts today
For Ireland's sons have proved their worth
In the good old IRA
All parts fought well for Róisín Dubh
But we, a record made

[Chorus]
In good old Cork
In famed west Cork
The 3rd West Cork Brigade!

[Verse 2]
The Black and Tans to Ireland came
To send us to their doom
Their doughtiest warriors sallied forth
In lorries from Macroom
But at Kilmichael's bloody fight
Their conquering course was stayed

[Chorus]
In good old Cork
In famed west Cork
The 3rd West Cork Brigade!

[Verse 3]
Then at Crossbarry's battlefiеld
Our gallant boys saw red
For ten to one thе Saxon host
Before our onslaught fled
And o'er the hills we made our way
While our gallant piper played

[Chorus]
In good old Cork
In famed west Cork
The 3rd West Cork Brigade!
[Verse 4]
Our boys fought well in every fight
We need not call a name
But Commandants Hales and Barry
Are now well known to fame
Napoleon like they led us on
With courage we obeyed

[Chorus]
In good old Cork
In famed west Cork
The 3rd West Cork Brigade!

[Verse 5]
But in our triumphs we shan't forget
Our comrades brave who fell
Some sleep today in nameless graves
But soon their deeds will tell
In grateful Ireland brave and free
We'll have their names displayed

[Chorus]
In good old Cork
In famed west Cork
The 3rd West Cork Brigade!
