Replying To Viking66: "Found that! Paddy's some dude!!!!!" It must be a town full of characters. I've heard 3 different stories from Paddy was on the quiz on Thursday. A old man Francie was walking up Platter's hill drunk and the Parish Priest shout's over"drunk again Francie" he shouts back" so am I Father". Another one, a man puts all his wages in a card machine in the bar for 4 weeks in a row, the last time he goes home comes back with car and trailer and horse's the machine into the trailer, not one man got off their seat to help.

Glad to hear it still is! Was a wild place back in the early/mid 90s!!!

Replying To thelongridge: "I am of your generation FairPlay, it might not be cool to remember the traditional county songs in some quarters nowadays. I am not a fan of the music currently played at county grounds nowadays, must e a generational thing." ah it was nicer and more homely (but of course we are so concerned now with being "inclusive" that all our old traditions cant be paraded for fear of offending somebody) its a pity, I know Cork havent been in many All Irelands compared to years ago, but when did we last hear the banks of my own lovely lee being sang to a a full house in croke park, or the rose of Mooncoin, Limerick your a Lady or Shannagolden even for Limerick (no doubt the Fine Gaelers wouldn like a sort of rebel song played in case it migh upset their percieved friends accross the water or up in the North of our country) too much molly coddling now at our own expense..God be with the old times racing home to only listen to a match on the radio, and then staying in to watch propper highlights of a Sunday Night, not this "go put the kettle on and ya missed it" highlights that we see now...

Great game yesterday as Mickey Harte used to say (rather than winning at a canter) that's the exact type of game you love to be on the winning side of! Unfortunately not Tyrones day, but a great game to watch and well Done to Monaghan who I'd have to say should be an Inspiration to all smaller counties, the way they compete time & time again despite limited resources, funding & general neglect of Clones by the Ulster Council (that arguments for another thread again I'm sure)
Anyways Re Tyrone songs
There are a few and definitely not the Pretty Little Girl From Omagh, Flower Of Steet Strabane or Hills Above Drumquin as mentioned by other posters from outside our county.
Most famous one course since the 80s
COME ON TYRONE
(Brian Coll did a version in the 90s & Phiolomena Begley did an updated version with more modern lyrics for our Last All Ireland Win in 2021)
Next (and prob my favourite)
NA NA NA TYRONE
By Justin McGurk & The Boogie Men
(Set to the same format Dance Remix Of Country Roads, This was THE ANTHEM of our first All Ireland win back in 2003 And then our next 2 wins in 05 & 08)
With the iconic Lyrics
ALMOST HEAVEN THIS SEPTEMBER
MICKEY HARTES MEN WE WILL ALL REMEMEMBER
WHERE ITS GOING EVERYBODY KNOWS
WER'RE GONNA BRING SAM MAGUIRE
BACK HOME TO TYRONE
When we win, still one for the bar & clubs till this day despite the change of manager & new players.
Next would be BACK TYRONE by famous Trad/Celtic Rock group More Power to your elbow.
(This one isn't actually a song about Tyrone Football, but the catchy upbeat chorus I'm Going Home, BACK To TYRONE plus nice tin whistle/flute intro using the Mountains of Pomeroy melody, made this song an Anthem for Tyrone Supporters from all ages)
Lastly the Anthem for our last All Ireland win in 2021
Was SAM IS COMING HOME AGAIN, by the 2 Degrees.
Definitely aimed at the student/younger aged supporter with some iffy lyrics (Who's that wearing fake tan, is it Marty Morrissey!, but then finisinging up with the iconic
HAMPSEY YOUR'E THE MAN
IN THE HOGAN STAND
SAM IS COMING HOME AGAIN!
This became the Anthem of our last All Ireland win.
Not one of my person favs, but having seen crowds go mad to the dance version of this & witness the following the 2 Degrees have amount our younger support, for me seal's it's place in the playlist.

Replying To Fairplayalways: "The post is about original county propper songs from my reading of the original post, not makey uppy songs we all hear on up for the final or on radio stations in the weeks before the all Ireland games.." Never noticed, as I just read the last page of posts in the thread.
In that case Back To Tyrone by More Power To Your Elbow is an original song (non football related as I said in the post)
As a non made uppy song, in my view woukd win any vote as the song to play over the PA if/when Tyrone Teams win finals.

Hands down, the greatest of all crowd anthems for Irish people across the world, adopted and adapted by many but just remember, it's Galway's forever - 'The Fields of Athenry'. Nothing even comes close. Galway have theeee undisputed best county song of all time. Mic drop…

The Galway captain referenced so many people who left this nation against their will, because of our economic situation.
Twas in my opinion the best speech given on the steps of the Hogan Stand.
