- The Wild Swans Dancing at the Crossroads
Well I remember as a young boy
The beginning of september
We were standing at the station
Waiting for a train.
There was priests and christian brothers
There was nuns and reverend mothers
There was guards and drunks and others
But everyone was just the same
Well they came from Enniscorthy
From New Ross and Ferns and Gorey
There was busses from Bunclody
There was horses carts and all
And when they steped out on the platform
They were shouting and screaming
And as they carried LARRY MURPHY
He looked 25 feet tall
So whats the story MARTIN STOREY
Now WEXFORD'S really bound for glory
And when at last the cup was lifted
They said we brought it home for you
CHORUS
In every bar down on the main street
They were hanging from the rafters
And they sang the boys of WEXFORD
Like it was going out of style
All the bingo halls were empty
And all the Masses finished early
Sure no one ever saw the likes of
Since the time of JFK
And when we look at young OGORMAN
And through the mid field he was stormin
And then the Cusack Stand erupted
When he scored from 60 yards
CHORUS
And I think of GEORGE O CONNOR
So many said he was a goner
But when he stood up in the HOGAN
I even saw an old man cry
CHORUS
Damian Fitzhenry,Ger Cush,Sean Flood,Rod Guiney
,Liam Dunn,Colm Kehoe
Billy Byrne, Martin Storey John OConner
Tom Dempsey,George O'Connor,Adrian Fenlon
and
Larry O'Gorman
Rory McCarthy,Larry Murphy,Garry Laffan,
Eamon Scallan,Dave Guiney,Declan Ruth,
Jim Byrne,Shean Carley,Paul Finn,Tom Kehoe, are the team,
and the man that dared to dream his name was
LIAM GRIFFIN
Seamus Kavanagh,Joe Kerns,MJ Reck and all the rest
the brave young men of 96 will be remembered with the best
RACKARD,QUIGLEY,WHEELER,DORAN BUGGY,MURPHY,NOLAN,FLOOD
And the names I can't recall WEXFORD heroes one and all - Sport
100 years ago, great men made a stand against an empire. 20 years ago that spirit was relived by the mighty sexy Wexford. Today we remember.
well said lad
On a lads holiday in Wales in '96 this kept hitting the air waves across the channel. It was the song of the holiday. Still remember it 23 yrs on.
Doing a disco in a Wexford pub one night and I played this. The place went mad as usual. 2 lads from Wicklow came up and asked me to play it again because they had never seen any song get such a reaction before. Naturally I obliged and once again it had the desired effect !
Hon Wicklow
Lovely 😊
@@fbleon. muck
What a brilliant way to honour your county's All Ireland - best ever ! !
Come on Wexford today 💜💛💜💛💜💛
LETS GO WEXFORD 2019 LEINSTER CHAMPIONS 💜💛

Only GAA song ever to reach number 1 in the irish charts
Yhyyyyyyyyyyu
@Lennon Swan knocked off the spice girls from the top
Is that true? Wow! 🥺
I think Jimmy's winning matches did aswell
Is that actually true? Oh wow. I must say it is some tune. I am a proud Offaly man, but I must say 'Offaly rover' is pure muck compared to this song 😂
4 am and a drunk Dub and a Galway man on youtube listening to the best sport song ever performed, and wishing we were from Wexford!
I'm from Derry and remember this as a kid and the Purple and Gold, what a time to be alive. Thanks for the memories Wexford!
Up Wexford
I'm from Dublin, and I looove this song to bits! It's a class song full Stop!
im from limerick but couldnt help but sing along to this back in 96.great tune
The spirit of the Rackards will never die.With admiration and affection from Kerry...
I arrived in Wexford toun, a year later.Love this song, loved The Croon and still love the punters that drank in there.
I was at the Pikemen vTipp semi, magic, just like the rest o your country
Explains GAA and how deep it goes for people all in one song
Best GAA song ever everybody in Wexford or Wexford roots bought this on tape in 96 myself included no1 in Irelanc I was even at the All Ireland to see them win it was the most fantastic day and the celebrations in my hometown Gorey the next night magical Up Wexford 💜💛

Another Tyrone man loving this song. Gets them all mentioned, rousing stuff. Cry before it's over!....with joy.
top class...i was on martin storeys shoulders in gorey when i was four whilst this song sung by the thousands of fans
18 year ago I lived in the Crown Bar Monke St. I paid paid for the rent for the flat next door but I stayed in the Crown.
Happy happy days.
To the extent that I was homesick when I came home to Scotland.
Turned native a tad
changing their note from tree to tree
and the song they sang was old ireland free...
absolutely love this song.
Anyone here from the late late show??
Ye lad
Yeah, but I'm here all the time anyway. I don't know how the tape of this song ended up in our house in Antrim but we played it to death. It still gives me goosebumps now.
Everyday lad
Still here since 1996 😂

Some put this on Spotify please and thank you
I'm from wexford and I'm making an.... well how would ya say, prophecy maybe? I'm gonna try to tell the future. Wexford will win again in 2026. That way this song will work with some slight modifications like the players names and the fact that we dont use horse drawn carriages much anymore. I'm by no means a fortune teller, but right here, right now I am saying. Wexford will win again in 2026.
Cas T mad
