[00:29.963]Come all you bold sportsmen and listen to my story
[00:34.484]It’s about noble Stewball that gallant racing pony
[00:38.462]Arthur Marble was the man that first brought Stewball here
[00:42.448]For to run with Miss Griesel on the Plains of Kildare
[00:48.030]
[00:50.149]O the fame of his actions we’ve heard of before
[00:54.408]But now he is challenged by young Mrs. Gore
[00:58.660]For to run with Miss Griesel that handsome grey mare
[01:02.634]For ten thousand gold guineas on the Plains of Kildare
[01:07.683]
[01:09.813]And the cattle they were brought out with saddle whip and bridle
[01:14.064]And the gеntlemen did shout at the sight of thе gallant riders
[01:18.051]And in viewing the cattle just as they came there
[01:22.026]O they all laid their money on the Monaghan grey mare
[01:27.609]
[01:29.465]And the order it was given and away they did fly
[01:33.717]Stewball like an arrow the grey mare passed by
[01:37.964]And if you had’ve been there for to see them going round
[01:41.952]You’d’ve thought to your heart their feet ne’er touched the ground
[01:47.262]
[01:49.391]And when at last they came to half way round the course
[01:53.378]Stewball and his rider began to discourse
[01:57.629]Says Stewball to the rider “Can you tell to me
[02:06.311]How far is that grey mare this moment from me”
[02:07.098]
[02:09.488]Says the rider to Stewball “You run in great style
[02:13.475]You’re ahead of the grey mare almost half a mile
[02:17.465]And if you keep your running I vow and I swear
[02:28.551]That you never will be beaten by the Monaghan grey mare”
[02:29.610]
[03:18.757]The last winning post, Stewball passed it quite handy
[03:22.998]Horse and rider both called for sherry wine and brandy
[03:26.983]And they drank up a health to the noble grey mare
[03:30.970]For she emptied their pockets on the Plains of Kildare
