- Irish Football Song of '87The ball was thrown up in the centre
Young Murphy he being rather tall
And when he did dsee it descending
He kicked it right over them all.ii
But it being picked up by a Wicklow man
Who thought that he'd be let pass
But Murphy he soon took it from them
And Redmond ge sent him to the grassiii
Wat Busher was captain of the scooner wave
Then hurah for the brave Co Wexford
And specially the bold Shilmaliers.
No matter what battle they found in
They were never yet found in arrears.iv
Our Motto was always to conquer
The green kept above the Blue
Although round our waists it was yellow
They trampled the I.L.P.W.v
There was Leary and Brown for their swiftness
And especially Jack Leary from Screen.
They were asked were they riding bicycles
And how did they keep up such steam
