\nMayo for Sam!<\/p>\n

The folks in Mayo have the reek
\nSome people climb it every week
\nThey pray to god and kill a lamb
\n“This year we want Mayo for Sam!
\nMayo for Sam, Mayo for Sam
\nLet’s beat Tyrone – Mayo for Sam!”<\/p>\n

Sligo and Leitrim both were beat
\nThe tribesmen soon met their defeat
\nThey told those Dublin lads to scram
\n“This year we want Mayo for Sam!
\nMayo for Sam, Mayo for Sam
\nLet’s beat Tyrone – Mayo for Sam!”<\/p>\n

In Westport there is red and green
\nThe likes of which are rarely seen
\nThough Galway might not give a damn
\n“This year we want Mayo for Sam!
\nMayo for Sam, Mayo for Sam
\nLet’s beat Tyrone – Mayo for Sam!”<\/p>\n

It’s been a long time since they’ve won
\nThe last time – 1951
\nThey’ll prove the curse was just a sham
\n“This year we want Mayo for Sam!
\nMayo for Sam, Mayo for Sam
\nLet’s beat Tyrone – Mayo for Sam!”<\/p>\n
