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
