A Song (continued)
“You hurlers of Offaly, I pray, you lend an air”
(continued from previous page)The coward slave is never freed;
The brave alone are free
Oh. Freedom: firmly fixed are set
Our longing eyes on you;
And though we die for Ireland yet
So Irishmen should do.A Song
“You hurlers of Offaly, I pray, you lend an air.”
The Defeat of no.3 (Rahan)You hurlers of Offaly.
I pray, you lend an air.
A few words on the Island hurlers
As I think its only fair.
Been only a lot of youngsters
Still no team do they fear to face
The next to go down
And in running up the medals
They are holding well their place.(continues on next page)- Collector
