I've been to Bundoran, I've rambled to Bray I've footed it to Bantry with beautiful Bay, But I'd barter their charms, I would 'pon me soul, For the week of the Races in lovely Listowel. There were Bookies and Bagmen and Bankers and all, Biddy Mulligan was there with a green-coloured shawl, And a cute little boy pitching pence in a bowl, Took me down for a crown in the Town of Listowel. Beyond on the course there was silk flashing past, The unfortunate horse that I backed he came last, When he ran the wrong way sure I lost my control, And I prayed for his trainer and Lovely Listowel. On, night time, how are you - the night sure 'twas day, And the stars in the sky they looked down in dismay, And they sez to the moon then in accents so droll, "You're done, for the sun shines tonight on Listowel." They came from Castleisland, they came from Tralee, And a good lookin' gentleman came from Figi, We'd a Dutchman, a German, a Swede and a Pole, Sure 'twas more like Geneva than Lovely Listowel. My rhyming is over, God bless those who heard, So I'll take to the road like a migratin' bird, But before I depart, well you all must pay toll, So three cheers for the Races and Lovely Listowel. |
