"Maroon And White" lyrics

I dreamt it'd wear the jersey
On all Ireland final day
It'd stand out here in Croke Park
With a mighty part to play

We'd come out of the tunnel
To a great big Galway roar
We'd have our picture taken
Head down to the goal

We'd line up with the captain
And march behind the band
And when they played the anthem
We'd face the flag, above the stand

Cos me heart is in maroon and white
It'll stick with what I know
Maroon and white forever
No matter where I go

And when the ball comes towards me
I turn and head for goal
And I stick it in the corner
Like a bullet hard and low

And I dreamt it'd hold the medal
So precious in my hand
With the people all around me
And the ghosts up in the stand

Then on Monday evening
We'd bring the cup back home
Bonfires would be blazing
All along the road

Cos me heart is in maroon and white
It'll stick with what I know
Maroon and white forever
In hailstones, rain or snow

Yes maroon and white forever
That's what I always say
Maroon and white of Galway
Forever and a day
