MAYO 2004.

(Air; "Men of the West")

Mayo beat Tyrone and Fermanagh,

Now Kerry are barring our way:

Jack O`Connor has Declan O`Sullivan

And three nephews of Paudie O`Shea.

Kiltimagh`s Peter Burke is our goalie,

David Heaney from Swinford a star;

Alan Dillon from famed Ballintubber

Can rifle them over the bar.

Conor Moran a valiant defender

Is from Derrada, beside Burrishoole;

Trevor Mortimer and Conor are brothers

Of Kenneth the hero from Shrule.

James Nallen is a marvellous footballer,

Outstanding was Gary Ruane:

(Willie Joe Padden has a pub in Belmullet,

That star of the days that are gone!)

David Brady was powerful at midfield,

Ronan McGarrity loves sweet Ballina;

Peadar Gardiner and gallant Pat Kelly

Are the pride of Old Erin go Bragh.

James Gill is the young man from Westport

Who travelled all over the globe;

Our captain was brave Fergal Costello

From the army and famed Ballinrobe.

Brian Moloney and Marty MacNicholas,

Andy Moran arrived on the scene;

With Austen O`Malley from Louisbourg.

Three cheers for the red and the green!

Kerry will win the All Irealnd

According to those in the know;

But we have young Kieran MacDonald,

And John Maughan is training Mayo!

Sean O`hAirtneide.
