- (I) Off memory flies on her pinious
To the scenes and the days long ago
To the day when Kilfinane were champions
With the might of Kilkenny laid low
Those thirty long years may have taught us
The crosses of life and its pains
But the deeds of this season have brought us
The hope we'll be champions again.
(Chorus)Then here's to Seán Og and his men boys
Our brothers in spirit and kin
And we hope ere next Summer is ended
We'll stand as the champions again.
(II)The courage the same and the daring
The spirit and blood is the same
The colours the same we are wearing
As those who were giants of the game
Through exile and death they are broken
But still we will honour those times
Ans still the old war cries are spoken
And still we have Brazill and Grimes
(III)W'eve brothers playing shoulder to shoulder
