  1. The Brave Boys of Upperwoods

    Share Share Post
    Brave Upperwoods who were ne'ver known to falter
    From athletic contests when called to the green.
    Renowned for your strength your courage and daring and feared by our foe on each field you have been.
    Come stand side by side with the true sons of Erin.
    Stand by the faithful the noble and true.
    Ireland needs men like our Upperwood's hurlers
    And liberty's dawning my comrades for you
    CHORUS
    Then down with disunion and traitors of Ireland
    Redmond the Tory the thief and the spy
