Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Master McGraw From: GUEST,Saran Lewis Date: 01 Dec 10 - 04:02 PM My mother, being from Armagh, claims the hound was named after my great-great uncle, who was my great grandmother's twin brother. The story my mother told is that he was a compulsive gambler who left teaching (teachers were always addressed as "Master") to follow Lord Lurgen and the hounds. There upon Lord Lurgen named the hound after him. My mother, having been raised by her grandmother, said she wouldn't even let a deck of cards in the house because of his addiction. But anyway, mother used to sing another song. The only words I can remember are: "She'll have pubs in the morning said Master McGraw." Does anyone out there have any knowledge of this one? Thanks |

"I know," said McGrath, "we have wild heather bogs But you'll find in old Ireland we have good men and dogs. Lead on, bold Britannia! Give none of your jaw. Stuff that up your nostrils," said Master McGrath The hare she led on what a beautiful view As swift as the wind o'er the green fields she flew. He jumped on her back and he held up his paw. "Three cheers for old Ireland," said Master McGrath. I've known many greyhounds that filled me with pride In the days that are gone and it can't be denied, But the greatest and bravest the world ever saw Was our champion of champions, brave Master McGrath. From the Clancy Bros Songbook. |
