Local Song (continued)
“Have you heard of the team of corragow sportsmen”
(continued from previous page)And if any body is asking, why are they wearing them ;
It tis all for the beating of Kilrudaree.
With their jackets lapped round them, their boots in good order;
With their short home made knickers - a beauty to see.
There was joy in each heart, as each weighed in turn o.
And marched to the rope to meet Kilrudaree.
Chorus :-
The captain he says lads, the starter is calling.
Beyond in the field the rope silently lies.
The captain and his team from Kilrudaree is waiting.
So cheer up my, brave lads, we will them surprise.(continues on next page)
