Roberto:

==The Wild Rover==
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

Chorus:
And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Such a customer as you I can have any day

Chorus

I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that you told me were only in jest"

Chorus

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

Chourus

==The Fields of Athenry==
By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Micheal they have taken you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

Chorus:
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters Mary when you're free,
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Chorus

By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

Chorus

==Rattlin' Bog==
Chorus:
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
Ho, ro, the rattlin' bog
The bog down in the valley-o
And in that bog there was a tree
A rare tree and a rattlin' tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Chorus

And on that tree there was a limb
A rare limb and a rattlin' limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Chorus

Now on that limb there was a branch
A rare branch and a rattlin' branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Chorus

Now on that branch there was a twig
A rare twig and a rattlin' twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Chorus

Now on that twig there was a nest
A rare nest and a rattlin' nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Chorus

Now in that nest there was an egg
A rare egg and a rattlin' egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Chorus

Now in that egg there was a bird
A rare bird and a rattlin' bird
And the bird on the egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Chorus

Now on that bird there was a feather
A rare feather and a rattlin' feather
And the feather on the bird
And the bird on the egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb on the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

Chorus

Now on that feather there was a flea
A rare flea and a rattlin' flea
And the flea on the feather
And the feather on the bird
And the bird on the egg
And the egg in the nest
And the nest on the twig
And the twig on the branch
And the branch on the limb
And the limb in the tree
And the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o

''(Same as the regular tune with the altered words)''

On the first day of Christmas,
my belayer sent to me:
A screwgate Carbiner

On the second day of Christmas,
my belayer sent to me:
Two sets of nuts.
and a screwgate carabiner.

==Wonderwall==
Only a club anthem when David Hamilton plays it on guitar while hammered and wearing a thong. (Preferable that he plays it so much he starts bleeding)

No lyrics required.

==Charlotte's Poem==
Upon nomination for the First Year Rep position at the September 2023 EGM, Charlotte Vancore delivered this fine piece of Mountaineering Club prose, based off her experience with the club so far:

Here come the mountaineers
Along with all their peers
The German, French and other lads
Each slowly going mad.

Let's not forget our Herman,
Another fellow German,
And Johnyy with his rocks
Has Joe Mee cry "the fuck".

And up the hill we go,
With only rain, not snow,
The bog and stones await
For one to slip and fail.
If mud or blood gets here
Then Joe Mee owes you a beer.

Oh wait do not fear,
We call it pressure dear!
Others call it fun
But cillian's says its craic.

So I stand up here today,
In cheer and much hurray,
As toddler of the bunch
I want in on the munch!

==Samsung Alarm sound==
An earworm sung loudly and proudly by the attendees of the Kerry 2023 trip, led by Shane Donnellan himself (with Ciara Doody inevitably receiving the blame)

Do do do do do

Do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do

Do do do do do

Do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do

Do do do do do

Do do do do do

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do

==Killeagh==
Played approximately 4,000 quadrillion times on the bus to, from and in Wales on the club trip 2025. Legend has it on a rare calm day the tune can be heard faintly echoing o'er the Welsh mountains.

From the woods of Glenbower to the River Dissour
‎ From the arms of my mother to the land ever pure
‎ All I have to remember is the pride that I felt
‎ 'Round the Páirc Uí Chinnéide, where the boys never knelt

‎They'd go rarin' and tearin' and fightin' for love
‎ For the land they call Killeagh and the Lord up above
‎ Killeagh, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
‎ For the green and the white I adore
‎ For the parish to last evermore

'95 came promotion, high up on the wing
‎ And the one up to senior, what a beautiful thing
‎ In the darkest of hours, in the depths of despair
‎ Let the Killeagh boys roar for to rattle the air

They'd go rarin' and tearin' and fightin' for love
‎ For the land they call Killeagh and the Lord up above
‎ Killeagh, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
‎ For the green and the white I adore
‎ For the parish to last evermore

Killeagh, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
‎ La-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
‎ Killeagh, la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
‎ For the green and the white I adore
‎ For the parish to last evermore

When my time's at an ending, when my days are no more
‎ Bury me with my hurley by the River Dissour

==Grace==

(Only to be sung in the most dire of conditions to boost morale on the mountain.)
 (Only the first two verses are sang as most cannot remember the lyrics that come next.)

As we gather in the chapel here
 In old Kilmainham Gaol
 I think about these past few weeks
 Oh, will they say we've failed?

From our school days, they have told us
 We must yearn for liberty
 Yet, all I want in this dark place
 Is to have you here with me

Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
 They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
 With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
 There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
