  1. The Boys in Gold and Blue
    'Twas in Croke Park in
    Dublin town
    On the brilliant sward
    so green,
    Those fifty - thousand
    Irishmen.
    Will ne'er forget the scene,
    When the gallant Gaels
    of Kerry, that ne'er a
    conqueror knew,
    Lined up to save their
    title brave,
    From our boys in Gold
    and Blue.

    Gaelic sway,
    They never found our island
    round.
