When we talk of the legends who wore the green
They’ll say cascarino and quinner and keane
But there’s one other striker that’s worthy of song
The gortnahoo legend tipp rary’s shane long
Wrap him up in the green shirt of Ireland
There’s no better player to be seen
See all his team mates his boys in green mates
Shane long gives it all when he’s wearin the green
He played for tipp rary in gold and in blue
And took pride in his parish of gortnahoo
With hurley in hand he could never do wrong
The premier county means a lot to shane long
Wrap him up in the green shirt of Ireland
There’s no better player to be seen
See all his team mates his boys in green mates
Shane long gives it all when he’s wearin the green
When your back’s to the wall and you need an oul goal
There’s a lad who gives heart a lad who gives soul
His never gives up and his spirit is strong
Three cheers for old Ireland three cheers for Shane Long
Wrap him up in the green shirt of Ireland
There’s no better player to be seen
See all his team mates his boys in green mates
Shane long gives it all when he’s wearin the green
When we talk of the legends who wore the green
They’ll say cascarino and quinner and keane
But there’s one other striker that’s worthy of song
The gortnahoo legend tipp rary’s shane long
Wrap him up in the green shirt of Ireland
There’s no better player to be seen
See all his team mates his boys in green mates
Shane long gives it all when he’s wearin the green
Wrap him up in the green shirt of Ireland
There’s no better player to be seen
See all his team mates his boys in green mates
Shane long gives it all when he’s wearin the green
