Up Kilkenny |
| One fine day in Kilkenny, in September of the year |
| Our hurling boys were coming home from Cork and we did cheer |
| The people filled the streets that night all wearing black and gold |
| They looked like giant bumblebees, all swarming down the road |
| Up Kilkenny, up the cats |
| Hooray, the boys are coming back |
| So raise a flag up to the sky |
| Wave that gold and black |
| They town square was a buzzin' as the train pulled into town |
| You could move an inch cuz there were people all around |
| Our three time hurling champions were the fair town’s pride and joy |
| Desired by the girls and emulated by the boys |
| Don’t you try to find a pint at any local pub |
| They’re running out of whisky and they’re running out of grub |
| But the craic is flowing freely and the spirits running high |
| And if I see an empty barstool then I’ll meet you by and by |
| At 8:00 next morning, the streets are thinning out |
| The celebration’s over, but nobody has a doubt |
| Though the town will become quiet and the crowds will disappear |
| We’ll be waiting for that train again, about this time next year |
