I'll sing you a song of a row in the town
When the green flag went up and the crowned broad came down
T'was the neatest and sweetest thing ever you saw
When they played
the great game they called Erringabad
God bless Galen Pearce and the comrades who died
Tom Clark and Mac Donagh,
Mac Dermot, Mac Bright
And here's to James Connolly who gave one her eye
As he faced the machine guns for Erringabad
There one of our leaders was down in Ring's End
For the honour of Ireland to uphold
and defend He had no
veteran soldiers but
volunteers raw
Playing sweet mares a music for Erringabad
Here's a health to the men
of the brave rank and file
And the lion-hearted women
of Erin's Green Isle Let true
men salute them with wonder
and awe
For they played the best game played in Erringabad
All glory to Doplin and to her renown
Through the long
generations her fame will go down
And her children will tell her their forefathers' song
The red blaze of freedom o'er Erringabad
