Well I (A)remember as a (D)young boy
The beginning of sep(G)tember
We were standing at the (Em)station
(G)Waiting for a (A)train.
There was (A)priests and christian (D)brothers
There was nuns and reverend (G)mothers
There was guards and drunks and (Em)others
But every(G)one was just the (A)same
Well they (A)came from Ennis(D)corthy
From New Ross and Ferns and (G)Gorey
There was busses from Bun(Em)clody
There was (G)horses, carts and (A)all
And when they (A)steped out on the (D)platform
They were shouting and (G)screaming
And as they carried Larry (Em)Murphy
He looked (G)twenty-five feet (A)tall
So whats the (A)story Martin (D)Storey
Now Wexford’s really bound for (G)glory
And when at last the cup was (Em)lifted
They said we (G)brought it home for (A)you
Chorus
We were (D)dancing at the crossroads,
In the shadow of a (G)bomfire
Underneath the silver (Em)moon light
We were (A)singing until (D)dawn,
We were (A)dancing at the (D)crossroads,
With the poteen and the (G)porter,
Dancing jigs and reels and(Em) polkas
Un(A)til the early (D)morn – (A)
In every (A)bar down on the (D)main street
They were hanging from the (G)rafters
And they sang the boys of (Em)Wexford
Like it was (G)going out of (A)style
All the (A)bingo halls were (D)empty
And all the Masses finished (G)early
Sure no one ever saw the (Em)likes of
Since the (G)time of JF(A)K
And when we (A)look at young O(D)gorman
And through the mid field he was (G)stormin
And then the Cusack Stand e(Em)rupted
When he (G)scored from 60 (A)yards
Chorus
And I (A)think of George O’(D)Connor
So many said he was a (G)goner
But when he stood up in the (Em)Hogan
I even (G)saw an old man (A)cry
