National Anthem Lyrics

CORK NATIONAL ANTHEM

Verse 1 (compulsory for all Cork fans)

How oft do my thoughts in their fancy take flight
To the home of my childhood away
To the days when each patriot's vision seem'd bright
Ere I dreamed that those joys should decay
When my heart was as light as the wild winds that blow
Down the Mardyke through each elm tree

Where we sported and play'd 'neath each green leafy shade,
On the banks of my own lovely Lee.

You look sssoooo gorgeous.

Mmmmm that feels amazing...

Wow, now you've really got me going. Let's go for this!

Oh my God, you're fawking huge.

Whoooaaaaaa!......up...de...Reh-bels!

Verse 2 (for suped-up Corkonians)
And then in the springtime of laughter and song
Can I ever forget the sweet hours?
With the friends of my youth as we rambled along
'Mongst the green mossy banks and wild flowers
And then, when the evening sun's sinking to rest
Sheds its golden light over the sea
The maid with her lover the wild daisies pressed
On the banks of my own lovely Lee
The maid with her lover the wild daisies pressed
On the banks of my own lovely Lee
