The Galway Races (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners[00:00:01]
And as I rode out through Galway Town to seek for recreation[00:00:03]
On the seventeenth of August me mind being elevated[00:00:23]
There were multitudes assembled with their tickets at the station[00:00:26]
And me eyes began to dazzle and they're going to see the races[00:00:30]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:00:34]
There were passengers from Limerick and passengers from Nenagh[00:00:40]
Passengers from Dublin and sportsmen from Tipperary[00:00:43]
There were passengers from Kerry and all quarters of the nation[00:00:46]
And our member Mr Hardy for to join the Galway Blazers[00:00:51]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:00:54]
There were multitudes from Aran and members from New Quay shore[00:01:01]
The boys from Connemara and the Clare unmarried maidens[00:01:04]
People from Cork City who were loyal true and faithful[00:01:09]
They brought home the Fenian prisoners from dying in foreign nations[00:01:11]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:01:14]
And it's there you'll see confectioners with sugarsticks and dainties[00:01:21]
The lozenges and oranges the lemonade and raisins[00:01:23]
Gingerbread and spices to accomodate the ladies[00:01:25]
And a big crubeen for thruppence to be suckin' while you're able[00:01:29]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:01:34]
And it's there you'll see the gamblers the thimbles and the garters[00:01:42]
And the sporting Wheel of Fortune with the four and twenty quarters[00:01:44]
There was others without scruple pelting wattles at poor Maggy[00:01:46]
And her daddy well contented to be gawking at his daughter[00:01:48]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:01:53]
And it's there you'll see the pipers and the fiddlers competing[00:02:02]
The nimble-footed dancers and they trippin' on the daisies[00:02:04]
There was others shoutin' cigars and lights and bills for all the races[00:02:07]
With the colours of the jockey and the price and horses' ages[00:02:09]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:02:12]
And it's there you'll see the jockeys and they mounted on so stately[00:02:22]
The pink the blue the orange and green the emblem of our nation[00:02:25]
When the bell was rung for starting all the horses seemed impatient[00:02:27]
I thought they never stood on ground their speed was so amazing[00:02:29]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:02:32]
There was half a million people there of all denominations[00:02:43]
The Catholic the Protestant the Jew and Presbyterian[00:02:45]
There was yet no animosity no matter what persuasion[00:02:46]
But fáilte and hospitality inducing Mr Paisley[00:02:48]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:02:50]
With me whack fol the do fol the diddlely idle ay[00:03:01]
