Christy Moore - The Ballad Of Ruby Walsh lyrics

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 pa** 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[C] Bethlem and Cheltenham and Lourdes and Limerick Junction The[Am] trip to Mejagori come up [G] for the extra[C] Motion Good people climb Croagh [G]Patrick with se[Am]renity On their [C]faces But Ruby Walsh[Em] saved me life be[Am]low at the Galway Races Hay [C]Ruby hold her [G]back, give her the [Am]craic And [G]up she'll [Am]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.
