- The Shamrocks.Joy! Joy! the news has come at last.
The Shamrocks brave have won.
Hurrah the final now is passed,
The day of trial is done.
No word could tell the honest pride,
That fills my heart to day,
Let conquered teams now stand aside,
Brave Gusserane boys "hurrah."ii
Then sing hurrah for the white and blue,
For the Shamrocks sing to day,
They've shown what Tinterns sons can do,
Brave Gusserane boys Hurrah.iii
Now Ballyhogue and Davidstown
Your fame is passed away.
Before the Shamrocks you went down,
In Barrets park to day.
Forth Heroes met their Waterloo,
Brave Gusserane boys hurrah.iv
Oh come light up the home fires bright,
On Hills and Village green.
In Tinterns merry home to night(continues on next page)- Collector
