(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 there's a man to kick the ball upon the field.
The youtube video by The Wolfe Tones was recorded on Live At Three on R.T.E. Television in the same year. Intriduced
