    (continued from previous page)
    They love their cailins and their land
    Far better still for each they'd die
    For true is the heart of each Causeway boy
    Chorus
    Hip, hip hurrah for the Causeway boy
    A louder cheer for the girls so dear
    That won the hearts of the Causeway boys
    VII
    Now Causeway boys, dear Causeway boys
    Youve heard the thrill of De Cantillons voice
    He turned your praises in his sweetest song
    And hopes your day would glide smoothly
    May your future sparkle with bright freedoms
    ray
    When the Bard of Clanmaurice is far far away
    Oh remember him them for his greatest joy
    Is still to be reckoned a Causeway boy
    Chorus
    Hip hip hurrah for the Causeway boys
    A thundering cheer for the Causeway boys
    May you ever regard your rollicking bard
    When he's far away from the Causeway.
