Teddy Kelleher

It was with pride he wore the Millstreet green But in Millstreet Town he will never more be seen Teddy kelleher's remains are in the U S A From old Duhallow many miles away. I was a boy when he was in his prime In retrospect that is going back in time A hero of Millstreet Gaelic Football His skills and sportsmanship are worthy of recall. Never found to be wanting when put to the test Teddy Kelleher he was one of Millstreet's best When called upon he never left us down He was a legend of old Millstreet Town. For each of us there is a common fate His was a name we used to celebrate A gentleman untainted by conceit He lived his last days distant from Millstreet. 'Tis with fondness we remember him today For Millstreet many great games he did play But far from The Bridge his last remains do lay He met with the Reaper in the U S A.
