The Sons Of Knocknagow
Lyrics: Eamonn Butler

Have you seen the wild deer grazing high upon the hill
Have you heard the song bird chirping on your window sill.
Have you seen the wide leafed sycamore cover up the lane
Then you know that summertime is here again.

There's a buzz around the parishes, the country and the town
I's clearly to be noticed something big is going down.
Old men sit and talk of other days and other games
With the blood of hurling racing through their veins.

Knocknagow's alive and well again
With a passion for the hurling they can't explain,
As the clash of ash echoes around the plain
Knocknagow's alive and well again.

Have you been to Pairc Ui Chaoimh on Munster Final Day
Or any field in Ireland where the brave and skillfull play
Have you seen them Hurl in Semple with such fervour and such flare
That the cheering can be heard in Liberty Square

Chorus

It's not for the faint hearted to be out there in the frey.
For the pullings' is often fearsome on fiery summers day
And if you are defeated stand tall and fight again,
For that is the way of Irelands Hurling Men

Chorus

There's Hurling Men in Leinster, Connaught, Ulster too
We've been Hurling here in Munster since the days of Brian Boru
While we salute all Hurling Men  reason must allow
We're here to back the Sons Of Knocknagow

Chorus (2)
