“This song was made about a football game...”
This song was made about a football game between Killinkere and Larey about fifty years ago.Young Tully bold, its for the goal,
This noble hero ran.
And, as he met them on the field, He jumped them every man.
Until they all surrounded him,
And formed into a ring,
To their great surprise, he could then fly.
This gallent bold Mac Finn.
It was on the wing this bold MacFinn,
Was placed that very day
Says one unto another.
As the word went all around
That very blade, must be McCabe
The runner from Mullagh town
The Feminines, along the lines(continues on next page)
