(Am) And there was fourteen on fourteen
was off,
(G) Jimmy on the sideline havin a gawk,
(Am) Heffo and
the boys were working out a plan,
How to
beat the Offaly lads (G) without
the extra (Am) man.
On hill 16 they never gave up hope,
Without Jimmy Keavney the man they call the pope,
The
last six minutes the hill was going mad,
While Offaly in the Hogan, they were looking very sad.
In the second half,
Dublin should be proud,
They put it in the net twice to get the goal allowed,
The dubs may come, and dubs may go,
while
history was made six lenister's in a row.
And then came the goal, it came from centre-field,
Briany fists a tall
ball down to Pat O’Neill,
Anton O’Toole’s pass I never will forget,
Bernard Brogan kicked a bomber,
it landed in the net.
Were with them when we win, were with them when we lose,
Roscommon and Kerry watch out for
superblues,
We won’t be easy beatin and never will we yield,
As long as theres a man to kick the ball upon
the field.
