Christy Moore - The Ballad Of Ruby Walsh lyrics

rate me

There's Bethlem and Cheltenham and Lourdes and Limerick

Junction

The trip to Mejagori come up for the extra motion

Good people climb Croagh Patrick with serenity on their

Faces

But Ruby Walsh saved me life below at the Galway Races.

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

They're under starters orders, Ted Walsh is

Commentating,

Ruby's up on the favorite, she'll take some beating

Necks are strained eyes are trained there's fear upon

Their faces

There's agony and ecstasy below at the Galway races

Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up she'll

Go.

It's there you'll see gentility and sheep dressed up as

Mutton

There's double barreled names with Mulherns on old

Malodions

The talk is all of tillage of silage and corn acre

I fancy Tracy Piggot in the saddle in the enclosure

Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up she'll go

Sir John Mucksavage Smith 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.

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

There's Celtic helicopters 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,

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

Thursday is the ladies day and the women all look

Smashing

Their lashing on the lipstick Philip tracys all the

Fashion

You can see the liposuction the botox and ogmanation

Brazilian haircuts the collonic irrigation,

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

And every one'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. karaoke and set dances

While some of us who seen better days were looking to

Take our chances

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

Their galloping down the back straight, he has her in

The canter

A look at her up the jumps be Gad, she's like a bally-

Dancer

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

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go

The Ballad Of Ruby Walsh With The Guitar Chords

There's Bethlem and Cheltenham and Lourdes and

Limerick Junction

The

Motion

Good people climb Croagh renity

On their faces

But Ruby Walshlow at the

Galway Races.

Hay craic

And go.

They're under starters orders, Ted Walsh is

Commentating,

Ruby's up on the favorite, she'll take some beating

Necks are strained eyes are trained there's fear upon

Their faces

There's agony and ecstasy below at the Galway races

Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up she'll

Go.

It's there you'll see gentility and sheep dressed up as

Mutton

There's double barreled names with Mulherns on old

Malodions

The talk is all of tillage of silage and corn an acre

I fancy Tracy Piggot in the saddle in the enclosure

Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up she'll go

Sir John Mucksavage Smith 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.

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

There's Celtic helicopters 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,

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

Thursday is the ladies day and the women all look

Smashing

Their lashing on the lipstick Philip tracys all the

Fashion

You can see the liposuction the botox and ogmanation

Brazilian haircuts the long-neck irrigation,

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

And every one'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. karaoke and set dances

While some of us who seen better days were looking to

Take our chances

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

Their galloping down the back straight, he has her in

The canter

A look at her lepping the jumps be Gad, she's like a

Bally-dancer

Over the next she hits the front the nothing is going

To pass her

Winner alright it's up Kildare, follow me up to Carlow

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go.

Hay Ruby hold her back, give her the craic and up

She'll go
