Maroon and White

Maroon and White - The Saw Doctors

I dreamt it'd wear the jersey

On all Ireland final day

It'd stand out there 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

Maroon and white of Galway

Forever and a day
