Lyrics
I took a train for Dublin at the dawning of the day
I embarked on a train journey to Dublin at the beginning of the day.
As thousands on the platform stood United in their faith
A large crowd on the platform, showing unity in their faith, as I departed.
We journeyed for the glory of memories in the sun
We traveled in pursuit of creating memorable moments under the sun.
And we sang the Offaly Rover like in times when I was young
We sang the Offaly Rover, reminiscent of my youth.
Singing Uibh Fhaili, Uibh Fhaili
Singing about Uibh Fhaili (Offaly) with enthusiastic exclamations.
Woo Hoo Hoo
Expressive vocalizations to emphasize the joy and celebration.
Woo Hoo Hoo
-Uibh Fhaili rang around Croke Park like in days gone past
Uibh Fhaili echoed in Croke Park, reminiscent of past days.
And the hats and flags and headbands they were out again at last
Hats, flags, and headbands resurfaced in the crowd, signifying celebration.
Shane Lowry he was dancing like it was 1982
Shane Lowry danced, evoking memories of 1982.
And you could hear the Offaly Rover roar from Birr to Timbuktu
The cheers for Offaly Rover reached far and wide.
Oh he rips apart defences, he moves just like a bullet
Describing a player, Cormac Egan, who excels in breaking defenses and moves swiftly.
His name is Cormac Egan, he's got the country's finest mullet
Highlighting Cormac Egan's distinctive mullet, a symbol of individuality.
Keith O'Neill got on the ball and he took off like a jet
Keith O'Neill demonstrated exceptional speed and skill with the ball.
He let it out to young Jack Bryant and he stuck it in the net
Passing to Jack Bryant, who successfully scored a goal.
We carried Declan Kelly through the streets of Tullamore
Carrying Declan Kelly through Tullamore streets in celebration.
And they sang the Offaly Rover for the days that lie in store
The Offaly Rover song echoed for the promising future days.
For Furlongs, Tynan's and Cullens the county's finest sons
Mentioning Furlongs, Tynan's, and Cullens as exemplary sons of the county.
So we'll sing The Offaly Rover for the Boys of 21
Singing The Offaly Rover for the Boys of 21, symbolizing the team.
For Hyland, Pearson and O'Toole
Listing names of Offaly heroes, expressing unity and pride.
Brazil, Egan and Flynn
-For Keenan Martin, Dolan and Donoghue

-So we'll toast our Offaly hero's from the heather, hill and glen
-And we'll sing the Offaly rover for the boys of 21!
