Irish Ballard for Irishone

To the tune of sloop John b

I often wonder where they would of been
Had we not let them enter in
All the grade 1s and handicaps
We washed them and stabled them
Thousands came to Cheltenham alone
From Ireland they came
Brought nothing but bankers who weren’t lame
Well their famine is over
Why don’t they stay home.

Now AJ Martin was a thief
Jp was fully briefed
Desterio and like a butterfly to name a few
Turned his back on his own
Cleaned the ring out alone
They ve got Willie and Gordon now
Their famine is over
Why don’t they stay home

Now they milked the juveniles
Won the bumpers by miles
The Fred winter was theirs
Even kidding us with Jeff
Their famine is over
Why don’t they stay home

We let them have Doran’s pride
When they were struggling to stay alive
They turned the lights on
Ran their bumpers by night at Dundalk
This is how they repaid us.
Their famine is over
Why don’t they stay home.

They ve got the Dublin festival
Christmas at leopardstown
Punchestown and even Galway.
Their famine is over
Why don’t they stay home

End.

We ve let you have your fun. But when constitution hill starts the English off. I think you might struggle this year.
