Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Boys of the county Cork Trad. Arr. Merry Ploughboys 
You've read in history pages the heroes of great fame the deeds they done and battles won And how they made their name. But the boys who made the history for the Orange, White and Green, were the boys who died in Dublin town in 1916. 
Chorus: Meet the boys from Kerry, take the boys from Clare From Dublin Wicklow Donegal and the boys from old Kildare Some came from a and across the sea, from Boston and New York 
But the boys who beat the Black and Tans Were the boys from County Cork 
In Ireland's rebel county our heros fought and died Tom Barry and his gallant crew filled Irish hearts with pride From Skibereen to Bandon, to Bantry by the sea Our brave young Michale Collins fought for Ireland's libery 
Well Cork came us McSweeney, A martyr for to die And Wicklow gave us Dwyer in those days now long gone by And Dublin gave us Padraic Pearse, McBride and Cathal Brugha. 
And America gaveus De Valera to lead auld Ireland through. 
We seem to be divided but I really don't know why. We had brave men and heroes, and for Ireland they did die. Now why not get together and join in unity, The North, the South, the East and West Will set old Ireland free.
