- (continued from previous page)The Causeway boys the Causeway boys whom all our girls so fondly prize.
Are to their darlings ever and true; and toast them often in mountain dew.
Their fame be echoed from strand to strand - they love their Colleen and their land.
For better still for each they'd die for true is the heart of each Causeway boy
(Chorus)
Repeat first line, Hip hip hurragh for the Causeway boys a thundering cheers for the Causeway boys
A louder cheer for the girl so dear that have won the hearts of the Causeway boys

Now Causeway boys dear Causeway boys you've heard the thrill of De Cantillons voice.
He tuned your praise in his sweetest song and hoped your days would glide smooth along.
May your future sparkle with freedoms ray - when the Bard of Clonmacnoise is far far away
Remember him then for his greatest hou, was still to be reckoned a Causeway boy(continues on next page)
