  1. The Causeway Boys

    Share Share Post
    The Causeway boys the Causeway boys of Kerry's sons the pick and choice
    This noble band gallant and true will yet for Ireland bravely do.
    They'll lift their flag by Shannons wave and muster all the loyal and brave
    Unite unite is the battle cry that nerves the soul of each Causeway boy
    (Chorus(
    Hip hip hurragh for the Causeway boys a thundering cheers for the Causeway boys.
    A gallant stand for the dear old land will ever be made by the Causeway boys
    II
    The Causeway boys the Causeway boys will bravely risk each heart emprise
    In dangers van they'll ever be seen to raise mast high our darling green
    To float it's folds by fort and glen and play for aye the roll of men.
    If battles hour will ever draw nigh in front you'll see a Causeway boy
