  1. Have you seen Tipperary champions?
    Hurl Clare in Cork's own town.
    When they won the Munster final
    The first step to the "Triple Crown"
    I have seen some Munster finals,
    But none could it compare
    To that match in Cork's Athletic grounds.
    Between champions Tipp and Clare

    At half time we were leading
    with just one point to spare
    With the sun and wind against us
    Sure it looked a win for Clare
    But our old experienced trainer-Tom Semple was his name
    He gave our boys a lecture
    As to how they'd play the game.
    The match again re-started
    And we could plainly see
    That Tipp would win the championship
    That day beside the Lee

    They drove men and ball before them
    With their old Tipperary dash
    Tom Daly in the goal-post
    Sure he saw their coming rush.
