A wee song that was written by Brother Percy French of Tullinahaw LOL.

Ah the boys are in the camp, sweet Drumcree
Be it dry or be it damp, sweet Drumcree
Drinkin' bucky, smokin' blow
Ike McKittery and co
They've got nowhere else to go
But sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree

There's oul' Sam from Derryadd, Sweet Drumcree
And he'd drive ye bliddy mad, Sweet Drumcree
I was cooortin' some wee Oz
Till yer man shoved in his schnozz
An' now she's a lost cause
Sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree

There's dei'l a 'hing till do, Sweet Drumcree
'Cept drink away our broo, Sweet Drumcree
And get stoned on hash and grass
That they smuggle through Ardglass
How I miss thon Ozzie lass
Sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree

Oh I miss her day and night, Sweet Drumcree
I had her in my sights, Sweet Drumcree
My oul' heart she stud till win
But someone torned her agin
And I'd do thon hallion in
Sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree

True love will fin' a way, Sweet Drumcree
That's what the poets say, Sweet Drumcree
If I giv' thon blade a houl'
Ye wud quare soon hear her gowl
"When they made you they broke the moul'"
Sweet Drumcree

Houl' yer whisht! Sweet Drumcree
Let's get pished! Sweet Drumcree
And hape our curses on the oul' P.C.
For it's clear we'll never stray
Up the oul' Garvaghy Way
So it's here we're doomed to stay
Sweet Drumcree
