[00:30.023]Oh, to view the great prizes and bear them awa'
[00:34.725]Never counting on Ireland and Master McGrath
[00:41.249]On the 12th of December, that day of renown
[00:45.137]McGrath and his keeper, hey left Lurgan town

[00:53.417]On the 13th they landed on fair England's shore
[00:59.972]And when they arrived there in great London Town
[01:03.782]Those grand English sportsmen, they all gathered 'round
[01:07.536]And one of those gentlemen gave a "ha-ha"
[01:11.765]Saying, "is that the great dog they call Master McGrath?"
[01:25.135]Lord Lurgan stepped forward and he said, "Gentlemen
[01:29.115]If there's any among you has money to spend

[01:47.191]Here trainer and owner were both by her side
[01:50.656]Oh, they let her away and the crowd cried, "hurrah!"
[01:55.551]For the pride of all England and Master McGrath
[02:30.797]As Rose and the Master, they both ran along
[02:34.537]"I wonder," says Rose, "what took you from your home
[02:37.973]You should've stayed there in your Irish domain
[02:42.374]And not come to gain laurels on Albion's plain"
[02:48.967]"Well, I know," says McGrath, "we have wild heather bogs
[02:52.688]But you'll find in old Ireland we have good men and dogs
[02:56.275]Lead on, bold Britannia, give none of your jaw
[03:00.677]For I'll garnish your laurels," says Master McGrath
[03:07.347]Oh, the hare, she led off, what a beautiful view
[03:10.772]As swift as the wind o'er the green fields she flew
[03:14.441]He jumped on the hares back and he held up his paw
[03:19.089]"Three cheers for old Ireland!" says Master McGrath
[03:30.323]I've known many greyhounds that filled me with pride
[03:34.364]In the days that are gone, but it can't be denied
[03:37.750]That the greatest and the bravest the world ever saw
[03:42.262]Was our champion of champions called Master McCrath
