[Verse]
I remember long ago, when I was just a child,
My daddy he would take me to watch the orange and white,
Armagh they were his heroes and it always was his dream,
That they could win the Sam Maguire and champions they would be.

My favourite special memories while standing in the ground,
He'd lift me on his shoulders, wave the flag around,
The fans they would be cheering for to spur the players on,
I was high above the crowds in the colours of Armagh.

[Chorus]
Daddy still had a smile the day he past away,
As the Armagh team who would before won the Sam Maguire,
Was a dream he wished for had finally had come true,
And the happiness and tears was shared by me and you.

[Verse]
Daddy held the Sam Maguire the day before he died,
On his sick bed in his cottage held it and he cried,
Now his journey's over and I must take his place,
As I take my child to see the games to join and watch her face.

Sit her on my shoulder like my daddy did for me,
And one day when she's older and share these memories,
Tell her of our heroes in their search for victory,
When they won the Sam Maguire for the first time in history.

[Chorus]
Daddy still had a smile the day he past away,
As the Armagh team who would before won the Sam Maguire,
Was a dream he wished for had finally had come true,
And the happiness and tears was shared by me and you.

[Verse]
The quite of this graveyard is where my daddy lies,
As I stand there at his grave as I see his happy smile,
And know that you still cheering when Armagh bigger play,
Along with all the folks have also past away.

[Chorus]
Daddy still had a smile the day he past away,
As the Armagh team who would before won the Sam Maguire,
Was a dream he wished for had finally had come true,
And the happiness and tears was shared by me and you,
And the happiness and tears was shared by me and you.
