Skibbereen vs Baltimore song I heard way back

Skib it is a dirty town, full of dust and woe
Baltimore is beautiful whichever bar you go

Skibbereen has shops and plenty of bars
But it smells like an old man
And we know how smelly they are

Baltimore has the views, you see
It has the sea, you can see
If you’re looking correctly

Skibbereen is sometimes choked with tractors
And I knew a girl there once I liked
But I couldn’t attract her

This is the song of two towns
One up, one down
One awful, one grand
One pavement, one sand
