And the cattle they were brought out with saddle whip and bridle
Em D Em
And the gentlemen did shout at the sight of the gallant riders

And in viewing the cattle just as they came there

O they all laid their money on the Monaghan grey mare.
Em A
[Verse 4]

And the order it was given and away they did fly

Stewball like an arrow the grey mare passed by
Em G D
If you had’ve been there for to see them going round

You’d’ve thought to your heart their feet ne’er touched the ground.
