To the tune of " A Nation Once Again." Source: upthedeise
When boyhood's fire was in my blood
We were only dreamin',
For Cork and Tipp who bravely stood,
Like one hundred against three men;
And then I prayed I yet might see,
Clare not played in vain,
And champions of a province be,
The Déise once again!
The Déise once again,
The Déise once again,
And champions of a province be,
The Déise once again!
And from that time, through Dan's six goals,
Our hope in blue and white,
And Ken McGrath with his mighty blow,
Has shown us how to fight!
And John Mullane through thick and thin,
Exiled, though not in vein,
And to the final, we will sing,
The Déise once again!
The Deise once again,
The Deise once again,
And champions of a province be,
The Déise once again!
And against the Cats, we will clash,
Giants, ten and four, and goalie,
We'll beat them with our sweat and ash,
Our passions never lowly;
For goals they come, from Flynn's right hand,
Our rivals will be slain,
And righteous men, will bring Liam back,
To the Déise once again!
The Deise once again,
The Deise once again,
And champions of a nation be,
The Déise once again!
