    The way it ought to go
    His cunning pucks [?] I'm sure did well [?]
    The boys of Castleroan

    Brave O Paddy Hogan
    Your are the boy can run
    The ball goes from your hurle
    Like a bullet from a gun
    You were the praise of always there
    Your name they would like to know
    But they won't forget you for sometime
    In haughty Castleroan
    There is Maddens two both loyal and true
    They will never miss a ball
    And if any man go jostle them
    He is surely bound to fall
    There is Michael Martin swift and sweet
    As everyone did know
    He always cut the leather
    Right through the ranks of Castleroan
    More of the names that
    hurled were, Pat Hogan, John Cleary, Martin and John Madden, Pat King, John Carroll
