VERSE 1::
         FF
As I rode out to Galway Town to seek for recreation
    DmDm            C majorC       FF
On the seventeenth of August, me mind being elevated
     DmDm      C majorC                 FF
There was multitudes assembled with their tickets at the station
               DmDm    C majorC    DmDm
Me eyes began to dazzle and I going to see the races

CHORUS::
    FF      C majorC
With a wack fol de dil
    DmDm
Fol de diddly idle lay___

             FF
It's there you'll see confectioners and sugar-sticks and dainties
  DmDm            C majorC      FF
And lozenges and oranges and lemonade and raisins
  DmDm       C majorC             FF
And gingerbread and spices to accommodate the ladies
     N.C.
And a big cr?ibin for thruppence to be pickin' while you're able

With a wack fol de dil

             FF
And there you'll see the pipers and the fiddlers competing
         DmDm         C majorC        FF
And nimble footed dancers and they're tripping on the daisies
  DmDm        C majorC                 FF
And others crying "Cigars and lights" and bills for all the races
                    DmDm    C majorC   DmDm
With the colours of the jockeys and the price and horses ages

It's there you'll see the jockeys and they mounted on so stably
  DmDm              C majorC            FF
The blue, the pink, the red, the green, the emblem of our nation
              DmDm        C majorC        FF
When the bell was rung for starting, all the horses seemed impatient
                      DmDm    C majorC  DmDm
I thought they never stood on ground, their speed was so amazing


CHORUS::

With a wack fol de dil
    DmDm
Fol de diddly idle lay___


VERSE 4::
     FF
There was half a million people there of all denominations
  DmDm      C majorC      N.C.       FF
The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew and Presbyterian
          DmDm     C majorC       FF
There was yet no animosity, no matter what persuasion
              DmDm   C majorC    DmDm
But fortune, hospitality, inducing fresh acquaintance


CHORUS::
    FF      C majorC
With me wack fol de dil
    DmDm
Fol de diddly idle lay___


CHORUS::
      FF      C majorC
Ah, with me wack fol de dil
    DmDm         C majorC DmDm
Fol de diddly idle lay____
