[F] They landed on [Gm] England's back shore. _
Oh well, one day arrived there [F] in big [Gm] London's town
Those great English [F] sportsmen, one [Gm] _ _ of those gentlemen standing nearby
Said, isn't that the [F] great dog you call? _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ Oh well, one of those [F] gentlemen [Gm] standing around
Said, I don't care a damn, [F] an Irish [Gm] Greyhound and another is near
With a scornful ha ha, with your [F] humble pride of your [Gm] mass _ _
_ Lord Lurgan stepped forward [F] and he says, [Gm] gentlemen
If there's any amongst us [F] has money [Gm] to spend
Be a grand English noble, I don't care a straw, it's five [F] thousand to one _
[Gm] _ _ _ Oh McGraw, he looked up [F] and he [Gm] wagged his old tail
In farming is lordship, do you know what you mean?
Don't be a noble brown loader, _ with your [F] tarnished heels on a load, said [Gm] master _
Oh well, Rose stood uncovered, [F] that [Gm] great English pride
Her master and keeper went close by her side
They let them away and the crowd cried hurrah
The [F] pride of old England and man
[Gm] _ _ _ _ Oh well, Rose and the master, [F] they both [Gm] ran along
I wonder, said Rose, [F] what took you [Gm] from your home
You should have stayed there in your Irish domain
[F] Come to Gainladdle, then I'll [Gm] be in shame _
Well I know, said the master, [F] we've oiled [Gm] heather
Oh be dead in your loyalty, there's good men and dogs
Lead on, poor Britannia, give love your jaw
Snuff that up [F] your nostrils, said master [Gm] McGraw
_ Well the herd she led on [F] just as swift as
[Gm] _ He was sometime before her and sometime behind _
He jumped on her back and held up his owl paw
Long live [F] the republic, said master [Gm] McGraw
