    III
    When first the ball it was thrown in
    Looked as though Cavan was there to win
    But 'ere the half time whistle blew
    The winners well the people knew
    Chorus
    IV
    In the second half they had the ball all their own
    When the cup in old Leitrim once more found a home
    It belongs to the boys who kicked their best
    And brought back laurels to the West.
    Chorus.
