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