    Chorus
    Then hip hurrah for the Causeway boys
    A thundering cheer for the Causeway boys
    May their heart felt toast ring round our coast
    And ever come home to our Causeway boys.
    III
    The Causeway boys, the causeway boys
    Detest all faction fund and wise
    The manly heart the brilliant brain
    And truth and honour in our train
    For the heart to solace, word to cheer
    And balm to sooth you'll every find here
    For the soul to quell each pain alloy
    Is the glorious part of the Causeway boy
    Chorus
    Hip hip hurrah for the Causeway boys
    A thundering cheer for the Causeway boys
    No cowards are they when freedoms ray
    Dawns brightly down on the Causeway boys
    IV
    The Causeway boys, the Causeway boys
    Never vent their souls in useless sighs
    But play and practise do and dare
    Giving the shoulder to dull care
    By Banmore, Odorney and Lixnaw
    Take up the tests of action law
