- The Men of Mooncoin
I
Whilst we honour the hurlers of Erin
Who fought with renown on the field
In a spirit of daring and courage
To capture the All-Ireland shield
Let us think of the sons of the Suirside
So now in this toast let us join
In paying a tribute to true men-
I refer to the men of Mooncoin.
Chorus
Then here's to the hurlers of Ireland-
From Bandon's green banks to the Boyne
Here's a toast to cause of our sireland
And here's success to the men of Mooncoin
II
we've read of their deeds and their glory
We've heard of their prowess and fame
They're the subject of many a story
In the history of Ireland's old game
From Carrick to cork and to Galway,
From Derry to dingle and Cloyne,
with the spirit of sportsmen we all say,
Here's success to the men of Mooncoin
III
We've heard of the Doyles and the Dunphys
The Foxes the Fieldings and Feore(continues on next page)
