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
