    The Tydavnet football team.
    I
    The other night I got a fright,
    When I heard the dreadful news
    About Tydavnet football team.
    With their jerseys, togs and shoes.
    St. Patrick's band does lead them off
    And their music does display
    When they line out you will hear them shout
    The Tydavnet boys away.

    Frank McCarron he's the captain
    He's a terror in the team
    The Treanor boys and Miheal Mohan
    Young Sweeney is not far behind.
    For Clerkin and young Deery and the McKenna's take the sway
    When they line out you will hear them shout
    The Tydavnet boys away.

    For supporters they have plenty
    And the money they lay down
    To see them rushing to the gate
    And the fare is half-a-crown.
    For postal orders or for cheques
    They charge them right away.
    Then take a walk inside the gate
