Dear old city by the Lee
What I wouldn't give to be
Roaming over your sunny hills and dells
Listening to the merry chimes
As we did in days gone by
When our hearts were full of liberty

Montonette and St. Luke's,
They might attract your looks
Fair Lane, Barrack Street and Evergreen
From the courthouse to the college,
They've different sorts of knowledge
And yet the half of Cork you haven't seen

And so they say,
There is a sweet Coal-Quay
Where the restaurants are famous for pigs' feet
Where you get your feather bed
And a fine feed of pig's head
And don't forget to pay before you leave

And now for to finish,
We'll have a pint of Beamish
But Guinness and Murphy's are good too
We can never forget the oil
That we drank with Conny Doyle
The night we won the Free State championship

Taken from a forum at ChiffandFipple, or thereabouts.

Tomás Ó Canainn's "Songs of Cork" omits the second verse above and adds some hurling verses.
