Lyrics Ted Walsh Song-Corrigan Brothers- 2012
AH 10000 Irish Punters
Crossed over the Irish Sea
They booked up every hostel
And Hotel and B and B
To Cheltenham in planes
And cars and trains and mighty ships
Mad to punt in the national hunt
Searchin high and low for tips
They were mad to punt in the national hunt
Searchin high and low for tips
Well they met Ted Walsh and asked him
For a surefire winning tip
as always Ted obligingly
shot straight from the hip
he gave the boys a winner
they asked him how he knew
sure didn’t I ride her mother
when she was only two
oh begod I rode her mother
when she was only two
well the bookies took a haircut
Teds tip had left them sore
and the Cheltenham roar was louder
than it ever was before
and in the winners enclosure
there was a great TO-DO
For the horse whose mother
Ted had rode when she was only two
Oh begod i rode her mother
When she was only two
After a week in Cheltenham
The Irish all came back
A week of mighty punting
A week of mighty crack
And all the costs were covered
By teds tip begod it’s true
Oh thank god he rode her mother
When she was only two
Oh thank god he rode her mother
When she was only two
In Fairyhouse or Chepstow
In Aintree or in Ayr
If your luck is out in Galway
And you Haven’t got a prayer
If you’re feelin’ down in Punchestown
Here’s what you need to do
Look out for the one whose mother Ted
Rode when she was only two
Oh Begod he rode her mother
When she was only two
Oh Begod he rode her mother
When she was only two
