• Galway Races

As I rode down to Galway town to seek for recreation
On the seventeenth of August me mind being elevated
There were multitudes assembled with their tickets at the station
Me eyes began to dazzle and I'm goin' to see the races.

With your whack-fa-the-da-for-the-diddle-ee-iddle-day. (Bis)

There were passengers from Limerick and more from Tipperary
There were passengers from Kerry, and all quarters of our nation
Boys from Connemara and the Claire unmarried maidens
People from Cork city who were loyal, true and faithful;
Who brought home the Fenian prisoners from diverse foreign nations.

With your whack-fa-the-da-for-the-diddle-ee-iddle-day. (Bis)

It's there you'll see the pipers and the fiddlers competing
The nimble footed dancers a-tripping over the daisies
There were others crying cigars and lights and bills for all the races
With the colors of the jockeys and the prize and horses' ages.

With your whack-fa-the-da-for-the-diddle-ee-iddle-day. (Bis)

It's there you'll see the jockeys and they're mounted out so stately
The pink, the blue, the orange, and green, the emblem of our nation
When the bell was rung for starting, all the horses seemed impatient
I thought they never stood on ground their speed was so amazing.

With your whack-fa-the-da-for-the-diddle-ee-iddle-day. (Bis)

There was half a million people there from all denominations
The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew, and Presbyterian
There was yet no animosity, no matter what persuasion
But failte and hospitality inducin' fresh acquaintance.

With your whack-fa-the-da-for-the-diddle-ee-iddle-day. (Bis)
