  1. The Brave Boys of Upperwoods (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Now is the time to unite to a man.
    Away with false teachings and feuds unrestricted.
    United together let each take his stand.

    (V)
    Unfurl that banner you proudly have borne
    Through our Queen's Co. towns "I" and others as well
    Your motto is printed with care on its forefront
    The same cause for all its short story does tell.
    Then out from Slieve Bloom and its glens raise the watchword
    Woodlands and moorlands reecho the cry
    Unite for ever, Brave Upperwood's hurlers
    Unite and beside them we'll fight till we die.
