A man amongst men back in his prime day
In Gaelic Football for Cork and for Millstreet great games he did play
Most of those he grew up with in eternal rest lay
But Johnny Keeffe is a living sporting legend today
In life there are happy times and times of woe
Johnny grieved for his beloved wife Lena a few years ago
She was his true soul mate as well as his wife
Her passing to him a low point in his life
His physical best years in time may be long gone
But Johnny Keeffe and his legend in Millstreet live on
Of years of life thus far he has lived quite a span
And more than a great Gaelic Footballer he is a true gentleman
Good memories a lifetime are ours to enjoy
I saw Johnny Keeffe play Gaelic Football when i was a young boy
He captained Cork in the red and Millstreet in green and gold
The memories live on though great players grow old
He was past his best years when i was quite young
But surely his praises deserve to be sung
Time does slow the best of them as they do say
But Johnny Keeffe is a legend of Millstreet today.
