   I
   On the 12th November the day of renown,
   M'Grath and his keeper the left Lurgan town;
   A gale on the channel soon drove them o'er
   on the 13th they landed on fair England's shore.
   II
   And when they arrived in big London town,
   All the great English sportsmen were gathered around
   One of the gentlemen laughed a ha - ha,
   Is that the great dog called master M'Grath
   III
   Lord Lurgan stepped forward and said gentlemen,
   If any amongst you have money to spend,
   For your great English Greyhounds I don't care a straw
   Here's five thousand to one upon Master M'Grath.
   IV
   M'Grath he looked up and wagged his big tail
   Informing his Lordship, "I know what you mean,
   So noble Brownlow don't fear them ara
   Well tarnish the laurels." said Master McGrath.
   V
   And Rose was uncovered - the great English pride;
   M'Grath and his keeper they stood by his side,
   The hare was let loose and the crowd cheered hurrah
   There's the pride of old Ireland against Master M'Grath
   VI
   As Rose said the Master both ran along
