First Cork Brigade

[@debhin]

When[G] Lloyd George's hired gunmen came and shot MacCurtain down, They [C]thought the I.R.A. was dead in [G]Cork's own rebel town. But they got a rude awakening when the debt was partly [Em]paid In Lisburn [Am]and the Lower[D] Road by the[C] First Cork [G]Brigade. Chorus: Glory, Glory to old Ireland, Glory, Glory to our sireland. Glory, Glory to the men who fought and fell. No surrender is the war-cry of the First Cork Brigade. We bombed them in the Abbey, we bombed them in the Glen. We bombed them up in Dillon's Cross, they bombed us back again. We bambed them in the "Wessie" and we bombed them in the Parade, And we gave them who began it in the First Cork Brigade. Chorus: We have no shiny gaiters or no Sam Brown belts to show. But we're able to defend ourselves wherever we may go. We're out for the Republic and to hell with ye're Free State. We are the boys of the First Cork Brigade. Chorus:

Must be related to hega?

[@seanhartnett79]

This is similar to the first Belfast brigade!

[@ianmcneely2446]

It has the same tune as the Belfast Brigade, Solidarity Forever, and John Brown's Body. Great songs of resistance on both sides of the Atlantic.

@@ianmcneely2446 yep. I noticed this. But I was painfully aware of it and unaware at the same time.
