《The Ballad of Ruby Walsh》歌词

[00:00:01] The Ballad Of Ruby Walsh - Christy Moore

[00:00:06] There's Bethlem and Cheltenham

[00:00:08] And Lourdes and Limerick

[00:00:09] Junction

[00:00:10] The trip to Mejagori come up

[00:00:13] For the extra motion

[00:00:15] Good people climb Croagh Patrick

[00:00:17] With serenity on their

[00:00:19] Faces

[00:00:20] But Ruby Walsh saved me life below

[00:00:22] At the Galway Races

[00:00:24] Hay Ruby hold her back

[00:00:26] Give her the craic and up

[00:00:28] She'll go

[00:00:32] They're under starters orders Ted Walsh is

[00:00:36] Commentating

[00:00:37] Ruby's up on the favorite

[00:00:39] She'll take some beating

[00:00:42] Necks are strained eyes

[00:00:43] Are trained there's fear upon

[00:00:44] Their faces

[00:00:46] There's agony and ecstasy below

[00:00:49] At the Galway races

[00:00:51] Ruby hold her back give her

[00:00:53] The craic and up she'll

[00:00:55] Go

[00:00:56] It's there you'll see gentility

[00:00:58] And sheep dressed up as

[00:01:00] Mutton

[00:01:01] There's double barreled names

[00:01:03] With Mulherns on old

[00:01:05] Malodions

[00:01:06] The talk is all of tillage

[00:01:07] Of silage and corn acre

[00:01:10] I fancy Tracy Piggot in the saddle

[00:01:13] In the enclosure

[00:01:14] Ruby hold her back give her

[00:01:17] The craic and up she'll go

[00:01:22] Sir John Mucksavage Smith

[00:01:24] Is there with Smurfits and

[00:01:26] O'Reilly's

[00:01:27] The owners and the trainers

[00:01:28] The stable boys and

[00:01:30] Jockeys

[00:01:31] With silk around their arses

[00:01:33] Getting up on rich men's

[00:01:35] Horses

[00:01:36] The convention wives and daughters

[00:01:38] And marriages and

[00:01:39] Divorces

[00:01:40] Hay Ruby hold her back give her

[00:01:43] The craic and up

[00:01:44] She'll go

[00:01:49] There's Celtic helicopters

[00:01:50] Land bank speculators

[00:01:53] Builders and developers

[00:01:55] Crocodiles and alligators

[00:01:57] Soldiers of destiny their

[00:01:59] In the fields of frenzy

[00:02:01] Their mouths wrapped round

[00:02:03] The Lamb Of God come back

[00:02:05] For the gravy

[00:02:06] Hay Ruby hold her back

[00:02:08] Give her the craic and up

[00:02:09] She'll go

[00:02:12] Thursday is the ladies day

[00:02:14] And the women all look

[00:02:15] Smashing

[00:02:16] Their lashing on the lipstick

[00:02:18] Philip tracys all the

[00:02:20] Fashion

[00:02:20] You can see the liposuction

[00:02:22] The botox and ogmanation

[00:02:25] Brazilian haircuts the

[00:02:27] Collonic irrigation

[00:02:29] Hay Ruby hold her back

[00:02:31] Give her the craic and up

[00:02:33] She'll go

[00:02:35] And every one's out in Salthill

[00:02:37] For the craic and for

[00:02:38] The porter

[00:02:39] There's bookies making odds on

[00:02:41] Two flies walking up the

[00:02:43] Wall

[00:02:44] There's folk and trad karaoke

[00:02:46] And set dances

[00:02:48] While some of us

[00:02:49] Who seen better days were looking to

[00:02:51] Take our chances

[00:02:53] Hay Ruby hold her back

[00:02:54] Give her the craic and up

[00:02:56] She'll go

[00:03:00] Their galloping down the back straight

[00:03:03] He has her in

[00:03:04] The canter

[00:03:05] A look at her up the jumps be Gad

[00:03:07] She's like a bally-

[00:03:08] Dancer

[00:03:09] Over the last she hits the front

[00:03:11] The other one's going

[00:03:12] To pass her

[00:03:13] Winner alright it's up Kildare

[00:03:15] Follow me up to Carlow

[00:03:18] Hay Ruby hold her back give her

[00:03:20] The craic and up

[00:03:21] She'll go

[00:03:25] Hay Ruby hold her back give her

[00:03:28] The craic and up

[00:03:29] She'll go
