Skewbald - Martin Carthy[00:00:00]

You gallant sportsmen all[00:00:38]

Come listen to me story[00:00:41]

Of the bold Skewbald that noble racing pony[00:00:43]

Arthur Marvel was the man[00:00:48]

Who has brought the Skewbald over[00:00:50]

He's a diamond in the land[00:00:52]

And he rolls around in clover[00:00:55]

These horses were brought out with saddle[00:01:01]

Whip and bridle[00:01:04]

And the gentlemen did shout[00:01:06]

When they saw the noble rider[00:01:08]

And there's some did shout hooray[00:01:11]

As the air was thick with curses[00:01:13]

On the grey Griselda sportsmen laid their purses[00:01:16]

Now the trumpet it did sound[00:01:37]

They shot off like an arrow[00:01:39]

Scarcely touched the ground[00:01:41]

Where the going it was narrow[00:01:43]

Then Griselda passed him by[00:01:46]

As the gentlemen did holler[00:01:49]

Oh the grey will win the day[00:01:51]

And the Skewbald he will follow[00:01:53]

But halfway round the track up[00:01:59]

Spoke the noble rider[00:02:02]

I fear we must fall back[00:02:04]

For she's going like a tiger[00:02:06]

Up spoke the noble horse[00:02:09]

Ride on ride on me master[00:02:11]

For we're halfway round the track[00:02:13]

And it's now we'll see who's faster[00:02:15]

So swiftly o'er the grass[00:02:35]

Skewbald flew like lightning[00:02:37]

So swiftly o'er the grass[00:02:39]

That the grey mare she was taken[00:02:41]

Ride on my noble horse[00:02:44]

For the good two hundred guineas[00:02:47]

Oh your saddle shall be of gold[00:02:49]

When we pick up our winnings[00:02:51]

Way past the winning post[00:02:57]

Skewbald won so handy[00:02:59]

And horse and rider both called[00:03:02]

For sherry wine and brandy[00:03:04]

And it's there they drank[00:03:07]

The health of the gallant Miss Griselda[00:03:08]

And all who lost their money on[00:03:11]

The sporting plains of Kildare[00:03:13]
