    Chorus
    They came from Cork and Mallow, from Blarney and Cloheen.
    From Donoughmore, Duhallow, and that highland village Beeing.
    But they never heard such music since the time of Adam's fall,
    As we had around the schoolhouse at the Farmer's Union Ball.

    Nor did they wear short dresses
