  1. Song - The Boys of Kickham's Town

    Share Share Post
    The following song was composed by Daniel Herlihy who lived in
    The Boys of Kickham's Town.
    We entered for the championship in the year 1916
    Where e'er you go you'll always know the Mulinahone fifteen.
    They beat Clonmel and fethard and Bansha they put down.
    And the Commons got a bad knock out from the boys of Kickham's town.
    And every time they'd win the day old women in their beds
    Would raise the latch, out through the thatch
    And shout "go on, the Reds"
