Halloween in Cork
It's that time of year in dear Cork City,
Where you'll find the Lee and not the Liffey,
Where you'll get a fair fright, in the still of hte night,
if you hear the banshee humming so lighy.
In old Leap Castle, I know it so well,
and Cork City Gaol in Sunday's Well,
You'll never know whay you may find,
how many spirits are left behind?
The English Market holds many a surprise,
In the still of the night, how many ghosts may rise?
And Blarney Castle, so hidden and great,
holds many a secret inside its gate.
Many a hero, so gallant and true,
wondered Cork City, I could name a few,
but if I started, I'd never end,
for when in Cork City, you're considered a friend.
