I know you are coming home from Dublin in a bit of a daze
But by God we love you still and you deserve a lot of praise
Our history has never been great when it comes to replays
We are proud of what you did there were many great displays
Does it matter who won or lost but how you played the game
You filled the jerseys with pride and sullied no one's name
You burst upon the scene when it was least expected
And with your youth and vigor, we all became infected
In those first three games, you really put on a show
But when you had the chance you should have put away Mayo
If Jamesie , Gerry and Dermot had been up there in the crowd
They would have cheered wildly and have been very proud
We Rossies walked a little prouder and we talked a little louder
We banished from our midst those who doubted
And anyone who criticized or those who even pouted
You have no idea the hope you set in motion
At home and in many places far across the ocean
So as you walk the streets you should never be harassed
You have brought back great longings and memories of the past
