The Ballad of Ronnie's Mare |
You can sing of all your sport’n hero’s |
Like Mr. (McGranderas) |
But there’s a horse in the county of Wicklow |
That’s beaten all of the best |
The slowest humper, the lowest jumper |
The great for a straw 'round the park |
The servant lasses, the upper classes |
And daughters of millionaires |
They all appear from far and near |
For a ride on Ronnie’s mare |
For a ride on Ronnie Drew’s mare |
In (Graystone's) town on a Sunday morning |
A crowd will always appear |
To catch a glimpse of the famous mare |
They call the horse of the year |
She’s the best at racin', but sees no disgracin' |
In pulling a big old wee cart |
In the (Bardeby) bar boys talked of the horse show |
One said she ought to be showed |
She was (chiltered) and trained by the two Heaven’s boys |
And the grass by the side of the road |
Though she won 'm in Dublin without any troublin' |
Next day she was back in the cart |
Joe Sweeny the puncher suggested one day |
They should enter her in for a race |
So all was arranged, Billy Fox would be jockey |
And New Castle would be the place |
But the boys all agreed it, even if she succeeded |
She’d go back to deliverin' milk |
Well, the boys where there to lay out the ready’s |
And cheer the horse past the post |
But when Fox had a look at the competition |
He tottened as white as a ghost |
We’ll have some hassle to beat Willy Castle |
Says Ronnie «(fuck you sake)» |
The race it was tough, but the mare she was flyin' |
They knew that she couldn’t loose |
But in the midst of the celebrations |
Arrived some tragic news |
In her finest hour all the milk had gone sour |
So now she was out of a job |
