[Verse 1]
Come [Em]all you bold sportsmen and [D]listen to my s[A]tory[D][A]
[Em]About noble [D]Stewball, that
gallant racin' [Bm]pony
[Em]Arthur Marble was the man
that first [G]brought Stewball here
[A]For to run wit[G]h Mis[D]s Griesel on
the Plains of Kildare
[A][G][A]

[Verse 2]
[Em]And the fame of his
actions we've [D]heard of before
[A]But now[Em] he is challenged
[D]by young Mrs. Gore
[Em]For to run with Miss Griesel that
[G]handsome grey [D]mare
[A]For ten tho[G]usand gold gui[D]neas on the
Plains of Kil[Em]dare
[D][A][D][A]

[Verse 3]
And the [Em]cattle they were brought out with saddle,
[D]whip and bridle
[Em]And the gentlemen did shout at
[D]the sight of the gallant [Em]riders
And in viewin' the cattle
just [G]as they came there
[A]Oh, they all lai[G]d their mon[D]ey on the
Monaghan grey [Em]mare[D][A]
An[Em]d

[Verse 4]
the order it was given and
away [D]they did [Em]fly
Stewball like an arrow,
the [D]grey mare passed [Em]by
And if you had've been there for
to [G]see them goin' round
[A]You'd've thought to [G]your hea[D]rt their feet
ne'er touched the [Em]ground
[D][A][D][A]

[Verse 5]
And [Em]when at last [A]they came [Em]to halfway 'round
[D]the[Esus4] course[Em]
Stewball and his [Bm]rider began to discourse
[Em]Says Stewball to the rider,
[D]"Can [Em]you tell to me
[D]How far[Em] is tha[D]t grey mare this moment
from me?"
[Em][A][Em][A][Em]

[Verse 6]
Says the rider [A]to [Em]Stewball, "You
run in great [D]style
[Em]You're ahead of the grey
mare [Bm]almost half a mile
[Em]And if you keep your
runnin' I vow [D]and [Em]I swear
[D]That you[Em] never will be [D]beaten by the Monagh[G]an gre[Em]y mar[A]e"[Em]

to [G]the noble grey [D]mare
[A]For she [Em]emp [G]tied their p[D]ockets on the Plains of Kild[A]are
