The Drumlins - The White and Blue of Farney (lyrics)

The Sam’s went by in twos and threes,
And we cheered on many’s an Ulster team,
But now is the time of Monaghan,
We’re on the road to Croke Park again

Hang Sangwiches, Flasks of tae
Bags a Tayto, we’re on our way
We’re making a sub in the second half
We’re giving  a jersey to Pajo the calf (mooo...)

With Freeman and Finlay and Lennon and Mone
 (We’ll give) Sam Maguire a brand new home
And these names will ring out loud on the Stoney Grey

25 years overdue,
For the Ulster Men in the white and blue
The Farney Army are back and here to stay

From Castle Leslie to Muckno lake
From Barry McGuigan to Patrick McCabe
Big Tom McBride and Paddy Cole,
Byrne the Harper and Tommy Bowe

Home of Kavanagh and the finest lace
Dodgy diesel and Horse meat steaks,
Father Dougal and Martin the Guard
And some Fermanagh blow-in...... called O’Rourke..... G’wan Malachy

With Freeman and Finlay and Lennon and Mone
 (We’ll give) Sam Maguire a brand new home
And these names will ring out loud on the Stoney Grey

25 long years overdue,
For the Ulster Men in the white and blue
The Farney Army are back and here to stay
