Mick Konstantin - Up and Over They Go

A little tune Fairyhouse asked me to do for them about the Irish Grand National
Lyrics:
On Easter Monday of every year, people flock to Fairyhouse from far and near
With a sense of excitement, in hope of more, in hope of a great days racing in store
But there’s really one race they’re waiting to see, the finest steeple chase in this little country
So, let them off, give them the shout, let the runners and riders go battle it out
Here we are up and over they go, til the final furlong, who’s to know
The Irish Grand National in full flight, on Easter Monday there’s no better sight
And as the winner pulls away the roar you can hear, the hustle and the bustle and the atmosphere
As Fairyhouse becomes a magical place, for Ireland’s finest steeple chase
And the thousands that are there, well they get to live it, And others get to sit at home along with Tracey Pigott
But no matter where you are there’s a buzz on the day, whether you’ve backed a favourite or an outsider each way
But that’s the beauty anyone can win so who’s your money with, A big stable small stable or a syndicate
And you’ve got bookies on the ball and a few wiley punters , And a late tip blowing the odds asunder
Chorus
And it’s a race full of names steeped in history, like Draper Taafe Ferris Mullins Walsh and Carberry
And not to mention the horses that have won this race too, like Arkle, Desert Orchid, Brown lad to name a few
And it’s a test of courage, of character and strength, to go the full distance and win it by a length
And for the owner, trainer, jockey and the punters that knew, they’ll be sure to celebrate their win with a pint or two
Chorus
