P J Neville came from Ireland in the days of sterling
With a love of Cork and Ireland's football and hurling
Many Sundays he played in O'Donnell's Bronx Gaelic Park
According to legend he was no easy man to mark
He spoke of the great games he attended on vacation
Picking Jack Lynch and Christy Ring for special notation
Christy Ring's athleticism he was ready to discuss
You can not live on hurling so he drove a New York bus
Still for Pat as I called him God had a big master plan
He caught the eye of a cute blond and fell for Mary Anne
The love they had for each other can never be compared
There were very few who on earth were so perfectly paired
The love they had for each other could be seen in their eyes
They always treated each other like they had won first prize
To see them dancing weekly I really was intrigued
They would dance till early morning until they were fatigued
Great love she showed for him as his health became impacted
Pat was her life mission and she never was distracted
