[Verse]
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]
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]
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]
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]
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.
