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