The Galway Races
(A tune from the 19th century )
As I rode down to Galway town to seek for recreation
On the seventeenth of August my mind was elevated,
There were multitudes assembled with their tickets at the station.
My eyes began to dazzle and them going to to see the races.
Chorus: With me whack foldeda folde dithery idle day.
There were passengers from Limerick and passengers from Nenagh
And passengers from Dublin and sportsmen from Tipp´rary,
There were passengers from Kerry and all quarters of the nation
And our member, Mr.Hasset for to join the Galway Blazers.
Chorus
There were multitudes from Aran and members from New Quay Shore,
The boys from Connemara and the Clare unmarried maidens.
There were people from Cork city, who were loyal, true and faithful,
That brought home the Fenian prisoners from dying in foreign nations.
Chorus
There was half a million people there of all denominations,
The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew and Presbyterian,
There was yet no animosity, no matter what persuasion,
But fáilte and hospitality inducing fresh aquaintance.
Chorus
