The Wild Swans - Dancing at the Crossroads
The Wild Swans Dancing at the Crossroads
Well I remember as a young boy
The beginning of september
We were standing at the station
Waiting for a train.
There was priests and christian brothers
There was nuns and reverend mothers
There was guards and drunks and others
But everyone was just the same
Well they came from Enniscorthy
From New Ross and Ferns and Gorey
There was busses from Bunclody
There was horses carts and all
And when they steped out on the platform
They were shouting and screaming
And as they carried LARRY MURPHY
He looked 25 feet tall
So whats the story MARTIN STOREY
Now WEXFORD'S really bound for glory
And when at last the cup was lifted
They said we brought it home for you
CHORUS
In every bar down on the main street
They were hanging from the rafters
And they sang the boys of WEXFORD
Like it was going out of style
All the bingo halls were empty
And all the Masses finished early
Sure no one ever saw the likes of
Since the time of JFK
And when we look at young OGORMAN
And through the mid field he was stormin
And then the Cusack Stand erupted
When he scored from 60 yards
CHORUS
And I think of GEORGE O CONNOR
So many said he was a goner
But when he stood up in the HOGAN
I even saw an old man cry
CHORUS
Damian Fitzhenry,Ger Cush,Sean Flood,Rod Guiney
,Liam Dunn,Colm Kehoe
Billy Byrne, Martin Storey John OConner
Tom Dempsey,George O'Connor,Adrian Fenlon
and
Larry O'Gorman
Rory McCarthy,Larry Murphy,Garry Laffan,
Eamon Scallan,Dave Guiney,Declan Ruth,
Jim Byrne,Shean Carley,Paul Finn,Tom Kehoe, are the team,
and the man that dared to dream his name was
LIAM GRIFFIN
Seamus Kavanagh,Joe Kerns,MJ Reck and all the rest
the brave young men of 96 will be remembered with the best
RACKARD,QUIGLEY,WHEELER,DORAN BUGGY,MURPHY,NOLAN,FLOOD
And the names I can't recall WEXFORD heroes one and all
