This was previously discussed many years ago and the song or the words were no where to be found online but fair play to Jerry O’Sullivan of Kerry Today on Radio Kerry for having Declan Lynch (originally from Castleisland) on air to discuss the full story behind the song...and thankfully they also played the song and also put it up in a podcast.
Fair enough Kerry didn’t bring home the 5 in a row but this song has an important part to play in Kerry GAA folklore and the the folklore of the GAA itself. I was only 25 months that dreadful day but I can say for a fact that all Kerry players, managers and supporters took their beating and were most gracious in defeat.
When all is said and done...they showed what amazing skill they had and proved they they had an iron constitution to come back and 3 more titles in a row.
Here is the link to the Podcast:
