At sport or football they will prevail,
Their skill and courage never fail;
Great teams are triumphant North and South,
Till they meet with the lads from the County Louth.The maids of Louth are beyond my praise,
God keep them and give them length of days;

Of rarest texture in them you'll find,
Winsome and sweet as the summer dawn,
Or the cooling breeze when the heat comes on
Come pain or sickness or sorrow by

When fun and joke and the dance hold sway.

They may keep all their treasures North and South
But give me two Colleens of County Louth.(continues on next page)
