Master McGrath, second verse not included in DT, also the song was written by Henry McCusker of Silverwood Lurgan to mark the second victory in 1869 0f Lord Lurgan`s famous greyhound in the Waterloo Cup.

On the twelfth of December that day of renown,

McGrath and his keeper they left Lurgan Town

A gale on the Channell soon blew them oe`r,

On the thirteenth they landed on fair England`s shore.
