When Easter broke the tyrant's yoke and showed us all the way,
From tyranny to liberty, we proudly hailed the day,
And when the English sent the Tans, their murderous hand was stained,
In dear old Cork, in rebel Cork were the Third West Cork Brigade

They took our brave Mac Curtain and they murdered him at home,
For ninst his wife and family they sent him to his doom,
But still the gallant people came undaunted, undismayed,
From dear old Cork, from rebel Cork to thе Third West Cork Brigade.

Rosscarbery was soon еngaged and fell beneath our fire,
At Passage too, the Tans we slew and forced them to retire,
In Upton, brave, uplifted slave, came arrant to our aid,
To dear old Cork, to rebel Cork to the Third West Cork Brigade.

And when the fight for freedom ends and we're a nation free,
We'll know how well we could depend on westward of the Lee,
For there in history's book we'll have a full and glorious page,
On dear old Cork, on rebel Cork, on the Third West Cork Brigade.
