- The Hurling boys of Glynn(Composed by M. Kehoe, Glynn.)1
Come lads around me, till I sing you a song of days gone by
A song of home and hurling men who's glory ne'r shall die
In olden days tradition tells in Carrigmannon's vale
Where Slaney ever seaward flows was heard the shout of gale
The clash of ash the headlong dash that marked our father then.
Are ours today in manly fray when we comfort our men.
From north to south to Slaney's mouth to Gorey and with in
The four walls of our County boys Hurrah! for gallant Glynn.2
To link the present with the past Fitzgerald leads the van,
And when our team lines out at last he's every inch a man
Between the sticks is gallant Hicks prepared to stop and dare
And woe betide the man who tried to take him unaware
The Clancy's Pat and Frank and Bill are like wise to the four
With Keegan Nick and Johney Walsh no hurlers could do more
We've got the ash we've got the men we've got the will to win
We will bring the medals homeward say the gallant boys of Glynn3
Of Wadding Dick I fair would sing the vertain of the team(continues on next page)
