    Come join with me my champion men in Erin's lovely Isle.
    I'll sing for you a verse or two which will cause you for to smile.
    Concerning the parish of Mooncoin and Carrigeen " Geal go breágh"
    They're the champions of old Ireland fort he hurley and the ball.

    Rise up Mooncoin and with me join your men of sport and fun,
    Till I will name the glorious fame you manfully have won,
    Through hill and dales your fame prevails Kilkenny's County o'er
    And far around old Ireland's ground with sound from shore to shore
    . 3
    You met brave by hill and glen, through wood and mountain side
    You conquered all both great and small around you far and wide
    You nor did fear their fame to hear
    but on the Gaelic fields
    Your great renown and noble crown
