Boden 50^th Anniversary Song – Words & Music Neil Buckingham

Oh we come from Ballyboden
We’re the greatest club in Dublin
Where the blue and white is all you’ll ever need
And we’ve reached the age of 50
And we’re so proud of our history
And a future that is certain to succeed

In the year that saw a man
Put a ship on the moon to land
And in Woodstock there was half a million souls
And the Kingdom lifted Sam
While the Cats put the Rebel’s down
There was a clan with a plan and a field on the Firhouse road
There was a clan with a plan and a field on the Firhouse road

We started off so small
Just a shed and bag of balls
And the socks and the knicks were a mix up of every hue
But soon the victories came
And the kids got to know the name
And the word in the pubs and the clubs was the Boden blue
And the word in the pubs and the clubs was the Boden blue

Then It was 1995
And the dream was still alive
We had a run in the cup on the cusp of the promised land
And it came down to the wire
And it felt like the Sam Maguire
With the scores and the roar of the crowd in the victory stand
With the scores and the roar of the crowd in the victory stand

But that was just the start
We were always a class apart
Then the fellas and the girls with the hurls were the teams to see
And the stars of Peil ma mBan
Made good on their master plan
And put their names in the halls of fame for eternity

While we love what’s in our past
We’ve a future built to last
On the Obair of the women and the men that the seeds were sowed
So here’s to another score
And the return of the Boden roar
Cause we’re the clan with a plan and a field on the Firhouse road
Cause we’re the clan with a plan and a field on the Firhouse road
