    Gusserane Boys Hurrah
    Joy, joy, the new has come at last
    The Shamrocks brave have won
    Hurrah the final now is past
    The day of trial is done
    No words could tell their honest pride
    That fills my heart today
    Let conquered teams now stand aside
    Brave Gusserane boys hurrah.
    Chorus
    Then sing hurrah for the white and blue
    For the Shamrocks sing today
    They've shown what Tintern sons can do
    Brave Gusserane boys hurrah

    Now Ballyhogue and Davidstown
    Your fame has past away
    Before the Shamrocks you went down
    In Barretts park to day
    Forth heroes met the Shamrocks too
    Near Bannows lonely bay
    T'was there they met their Waterlow
    Brave Gusserane boys hurrah
    Chorus
