My Mum Was From Kerry

My mum was from Kerry from near the Town of Rathmore
But when Cork against the Kingdom kick a winning score
I do feel delighted and so full of cheer
That i mark the occasion with a Carlton beer,
When Kerry beat Cork in the All Ireland Final last year
At the news i felt so disappointed that i shed a quiet tear
And though they lost to the far better team on the day
That was not a consolation not in any way
Like i say by the better team on the day we were beat
But most Corkonians are known to be graceful in defeat
In the veins of Cork people the rebel blood flow
And the white flag of surrender they never do show
It will not be too long till The Rebels win Sam Maguire
And in every Cork town and village there will be a bonfire.
