Well I (A)remember as a (D)young boy

The beginning of sep(G)tember

We were standing at the (Em)station

(G)Waiting for a (A)train.

There was (A)priests and christian (D)brothers

There was nuns and reverend (G)mothers

There was guards and drunks and (Em)others

But every(G)one was just the (A)same

Well they (A)came from Ennis(D)corthy

From New Ross and Ferns and (G)Gorey

There was busses from Bun(Em)clody

There was (G)horses, carts and (A)all

And when they (A)steped out on the (D)platform

They were shouting and (G)screaming

And as they carried Larry (Em)Murphy

He looked (G)twenty-five feet (A)tall

So whats the (A)story Martin (D)Storey

Now Wexford’s really bound for (G)glory

And when at last the cup was (Em)lifted

They said we (G)brought it home for (A)you

Chorus

We were (D)dancing at the crossroads,

In the shadow of a (G)bomfire

Underneath the silver (Em)moon light

We were (A)singing until (D)dawn,

We were (A)dancing at the (D)crossroads,

With the poteen and the (G)porter,

Dancing jigs and reels and(Em) polkas

Un(A)til the early (D)morn – (A)

In every (A)bar down on the (D)main street

They were hanging from the (G)rafters

And they sang the boys of (Em)Wexford

Like it was (G)going out of (A)style

All the (A)bingo halls were (D)empty

And all the Masses finished (G)early

Sure no one ever saw the (Em)likes of

Since the (G)time of JF(A)K

And when we (A)look at young O(D)gorman

And through the mid field he was (G)stormin

And then the Cusack Stand e(Em)rupted

When he (G)scored from 60 (A)yards

Chorus

And I (A)think of George O’(D)Connor

So many said he was a (G)goner

But when he stood up in the (Em)Hogan

I even (G)saw an old man (A)cry
