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