Verse 1
(G major) As I rogued out through Galway town
to seek for a creation
On the (E minor) 17th of (C major) August,

(G major) There was multitudes assembled
(C major) with their tickets at the (G major) station
Me eyes began to dazzle
and they (E minor) go ing to (D major) see the (E minor) race
And when me (G major) whack
followed the (D major) dope
followed the (E minor) diddly diddly
There was (G major) passengers from Limerick
and more from Tipperary
The (E minor) boys from Connemara
(C major) and the (D major) Clare unmarried maid (G major) ens
And people from Cork (C major) City
who were loyal, true and faith (G major) ful
They brought home the Fenian prisoners
from (E minor) dy in' in (D major) foreign na (E minor) tions
With me (G major) whack -a -doodle -dee (D major) -do,
whack -a (E minor) -doodle -dee -dee -dee -dee
It's (G major) there you'll see confectioners
with sugar sticks and dainties
And (E minor) lozenges and (C major) oranges
and (D major) lemonade and (G major) raisins
And gingerbread and (C major) spices
to accommodate the (G major) ladies
And a big crew bean for thruppins
to be (E minor) pickin' (D major) while you're (E minor) able
Let me (G major) whack all the (D major) dope,
all the (E minor) diddly -iddly.
It's (G major) there you'll see the pipers
and the fiddlers competing,
the (E minor) nimble -footed dan (C major) cers,
and they (D major) tripping on the (G major) daisies,
and others crying ci (C major) gars and lights
and bills for all the (G major) races,
with the colors of the jockeys
and the price and (D major) horse's (E minor) ages.
(G major) Let me whack all the (D major) dope,
all the (E minor) diddly -iddly.
It's (G major) there you'll see the jockeys,
and they mounted on so stately,

The or (C major) ange and green,
the (D major) emblem of our na (G major) tion
When the bell was rung for (C major) startin'
All the horses seemed impa (G major) tient
I thought they never stood on ground
Their (E minor) speed was (D major) so amazin' (E minor)
Bed me (G major) whack, ball me (D major) dope,
ball me (E minor) diddly -iddle -dee
And there was (G major) half a million people there
Of all denominations
The (E minor) Catholic, the (C major) Protestant,
the (D major) Jew and Presby (G major) terian
There was yet no anim (C major) osity
No matter what persua (G major) sion
But fortune, hospitality,
in juice and (D major) fresh ac (E minor) quaintance
With me (G major) whack, fall the (D major) dough,
fall the (E minor) diddly -iddle -ay
With me (G major) whack, fall the (D major) dough,
fall the (E minor) diddly -iddle -ay
