A Song (continued)
“Come all ye lads of Carrig I hope you will draw near.”
(continued from previous page)Sure his equals cant be found.
VI
There's David Hayes and Jimmy Gray,
And Billy Fenton too,
Why in fact there's not a waster,
In the famous Gold and Blue.
VII
Down from the North there comes a band,
To swell the ranks you see.
Of strapping able fellows,
From a fine big country.
VIII
There's Mulcahy and Whelan,
And Cotter likewise too.
Not forgetting Poor Mick Savage,
Sure he's loyal to the Gold and Blue.
IX
We travelled down to Charleville town,
To play the "Crooms" you see.
In this we did succeed,
And came home victorously.
X
We brought the honours to East Cork,
And brought them manly too.
So give them cheers for the Carrig boys,
They're the pride of the Gold and Blue.(continues on next page)
