Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sound of the Thunder (Fureys)
now I can answer my own question:
Sound of the Thunder
Heard the sound of the Thunder, I heard the sound on the earth
Heard the sound of the Thunder, for who's on the Turf.
I saw you at the Curragh, in the County Kildare
where you flew like a dream with your long black hair.
Then I saw you on Airdrie and at Doncaster too
I knew the Gold Cup it was waiting for you
And I had a big grin when you walked round that ring
And me just a punter, sure I knew you would win
A burning desire, how I felt it inside
When I looked at you sure you filled me with pride
And the race course was crowded when the punters came in
Down there at Cheltenham to see who would win.
No, I didn't worry, no, I didn't care
I put all my money upon the black mare.
And the starter he shouted, stay back from the line!
The black mare from Ireland sure I knew she was fine.
And oh how we shouted as she crossed the line
She was the first in the Gold Cup and the winner was mine
