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