Duhallow's greatest sportsperson as many do say
The legend of Derrygallon's Dr Pat O' Callaghan is living today
At Los Angeles and Amsterdam the winner of Olympic hammer gold
The story of his amazing achievements will always be told
In 1991 in Clonmel as an octogenarian he breathed his last
In sports he will always be spoken of when people recall greats of the past
Arguably Ireland's greatest Olympian he beat the World's best
And was never found to be wanting when put to the test
In his prime Pat O'Callaghan never knew of deafeat
Worldwide in hammer throwing then the one to beat
But to the best of them time does become the foe
Though Memories of Pat O' Callaghan remain from the long ago
Arguably Ireland's greatest Olympian of his time as a hammer thrower the World's best
He was never found to be wanting when put to the test.
