Karaoke Track: Ballad Of Ruby Walsh by Christy Moore And Declan Sinnott (West Coast Entertainment) - Karaoke Nerds

Thereb Bethlehem and
Cheltenham

And Lourdes and
Limerick Junction

The trip to Mejagori
Come up for the
extra munction

Good people climb
Croagh Patrick
With serenity on their faces

But Ruby Walsh he
saved me life
Below at the Galway Races

Ruby hold her back

Give her the craic
and up she'll go

They're under starters orders
Ted Walsh is commentating

Ruby's on the favourite
Sayslu.
she'll take some beatin

Necks are craned
and eyes are trained
There's fear upon their faces

There's agony and ecstasy
Below at the Galway races

Hey Ruby hold her back

Give her the craic
and up she'll go

It's there you'll see gentility
And sheep dressed up
like mutton

There's double barrelled names
With Mulherns on
old melodeons

The talk is all of 'tillage'
Of 'silage' and 'corn acre'

I fancy 'Tracy Piggott' In the
saddle in the enclosure

Sir John Mucksavage
Smythe is there
With Smurfits and O'Reilly's

The owners and the trainers
The stable boys and jockeys

With silk around their arses
Getting up on
rich men's horses

The convention
wives and daughters
And marriages and divorces

Hey Ruby hold her back

Give her the craic
and up she'll go

There's Celtic helicopters
And land bank speculators

Builders and developers
Crocodiles and alligators

Soldiers of destiny
Their in the fields of frenzy

Their mouths wrapped round
the Lamb Of God

Come back for the gravy

Hey Ruby hold her back

Give her the craic
and up she'll go

Thursday is the ladies day
The women all look smashin'

Their lashing on the lipstick
Philip Tracyls all the fashion

You can see the liposuction
The botox and ogmanation

Brazilian haircuts...
colonic irrigation

And everyone's out in Salthill
For the craic and for
the porter

There's bookies making odds
On two flies walking
up the wall

There's folk and trad,
there,s disco,
Karaoke and set dances
While some of us
who've seen better days
Were looking to take our
chances

Hey Ruby hold her back

Give her the craic
and up she'll go

They're galloping
down the back straight
He has her in the canter

A look at her
up the jumps be Gad

She's like a ballet dancer l

Over the last
she hits the front
The other one's going
to pass her

Winner alright it's Up Kildare
Follow me up to Carlow

Hey Ruby hold her back
Give her the craic
and up she'll go

Hey Ruby hold her back
Give her the craic
and up she'll go...
