He read in history's pages, the heroes of great fame
The deeds they've done, the 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 in nineteen sixteen
Some of them came from Kerry, some from county Claire
From Dublin, Wicklow, Donegal, and the boys from old Kildare
Some from a land across the sea, from Glasgow and New York
But thе boys who beat the Black and Tans werе the boys from the county Cork
In Ireland's rebel county, our heroes fought and died
Tom Barry and his gallant crew filled Irish hearts with pride
From Skibbereen to Bandon, to Bantry by the Sea
Then brave young Charlie Hurley fought for Ireland's liberty
Some of them came from Kerry, some from county Claire
From Dublin, Wicklow, Donegal, and the boys from old Kildare
Some from a land across the sea, from Glasgow and New York
But the boys who beat the Black and Tans were the boys from the county Cork
Now Cork gave us Mick Sweeney, a martyr he did die
And Wicklow gave us Dwyer in those days now long gone by
And Dublin gave us Padraig Pearse, McBride, and Cathal Brugha
And Scotland gave James Connolly to lead old Ireland through
Some of them came from Kerry, some from county Claire
From Dublin, Wicklow, Donegal, and the boys from old Kildare
Some from a land across the sea, from Glasgow and New York
But the boys who beat the Black and Tans were the boys from the county Cork
We seem to be divided, but I really don't know why
We had brave men and heroes, all for Ireland did they die
So why not get together and join in unity
The north, the south, the east, the west, and set old Ireland free
Some of them came from Kerry, some from county Claire
From Dublin, Wicklow, Donegal, and the boys from old Kildare
Some from a land across the sea, from Glasgow and New York
But the boys who beat the Black and Tans were the boys from the county Cork
Some of them came from Kerry, some from county Claire
