Verse 1
Gm
Eighteen sixty nine
F
Gm
being the date anf the year,
Those Waterloo sportsmen
F
and more did appear,
Gm
For to gain the great prizes
and bear them awa',
F
Never counting on Ireland and
Gm
Master McGrath.
Verse 2
Gm
On the twelfth of November,
F
Gm
that day of renown,
McGrath and his keeper
F
Gm
they left Lurgan town,
A gale in the Channel,
it soon drove them o'er,
F
On the thirteenth they landed
Gm
on England's fair shore.
Verse 3
Gm
Oh well when they arrived there
F
Gm
in big London Town,
Those great English sportsmen
F
Gm
all gathered around,
And one of those gentlemen
standing nearby
F
said, 'Is that the great dog you call
Gm
Master McGrath?'
Verse 4
Gm
Oh well one of the gentlemen
F
Gm
standing around,
Says, 'I don't care a damn for your
F
Gm
Ir ish greyhound!'
And another he sneered
with a scornful 'Ha! Ha!
F
We'll soon humble the pride of
your Master McGrath.'
Gm
Then
Verse 5
Lord Lurgan came forward and said,
F
'Gentlemen,
Gm
If there's any amongst
F
Gm
you has money to spend.
For your grand English nobles I don't care a straw,
F
Here's five thousand to one
Gm
upon Master McGrath.'
Verse 6
Gm
Oh, McGrath he looked up and he
F
Gm
wagged his old tail.
Informing his lordship,
'Sure I know what you mean,
Don't fear, noble Brownlow,
don't fear them agra,
F
We'll soon tarnish their laurels', says
Gm
Master McGrath.
Verse 7
Gm
Oh well Rose stood uncovered,
F
Gm
the great English pride,
Her master and keeper were
close by her side;
They let them away and the crowd cried,
'Hurrah!'
F
For the pride of all England
Gm
and Master McGrath.
Verse 8
Gm
Oh well Rose and the Master
they both ran along.
'I wonder', says Rose,
F
Gm
'what took you from your home.
You should have stayed there
in your Irish domain,
F
And not come to gain laurels
Gm
on Albion's plain.'
Verse 9
'Well, I know', says the Master,
F
'we have wild heather
Gm
bogs
but, bedad, in old Ireland there's
good men and dogs.
Lead on, bold Britannia,
give none of your jaw,
F
Stuff that up your nostrils', says
Gm
Master McGrath.
Verse 10
Gm
Well the hare she led on just
F
Gm
as swift as the wind
He was sometimes before her
and sometimes behind,
He jumped on her back and
held up his ould paw -
F
'Long live the Republic', says
Gm
Master McGrath.
