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