Oh my heart beat high with joy elate	A
When Danny rode in the Hunters Plate	A
On Enniskillen the raking grey	B
A mighty jumper with power to stay	B
Velvet muzzled with eye of fire	C
Clean legged slant shouldered and tough as wire	C
Oh the joy that can fill a colleen s breast	D
When her man and horse are dong their best	D
The summer skies were without a cloud	E
O er the heads of the frantic cheering crowd	E
As he led the field right into the straight	A
And his eyes met mine at the five barred gate	A
Then they thundered by like a roaring flood	F
And oh good luck to the Irish blood	F
The Irish blood that in horse or man	G
Has never caved in since the world began	G
He took the last leap like a bird in the air	H
Clearing the hurdle straight and fair	H
And Enniskillen won	I
	-
We d been married for one long blissful year	J
Of hope and struggle of joy and fear	J
Our hearts were young and our hopes were high	K
And the star of love shone bright in our sky	K
And I felt like a queen as I hushed to rest	D
The little bright head that lay on my breast	D
But the air was stifling close and strange	L
With a scent of smoke from the burning range	L
And I prayed for Danny riding away	B
On a cattle hunt on the gallant grey	B
The smoke came down like a cloud of night	M
And ranges and trees were blotted from sight	M
When Enniskillen came galloping home	N
His grey coat mottled and flecked with foam	N
And Danny s face was rigid and white	M
Come Sweetheart we ride for our lives to night	M
Wrap this cloak around you hold Baby fast	O
And pray till the danger be overpassed	O
For the wind has arisen with whirling force	P
And our lives depend on the dear grey horse	P
	-
And on God s good mercy A streak of light	O
Enniskillen went racing into the night	O
The dim stars peered from a reeling sky	K
And wild bush creatures came rushing by	K
As crash on crash the timber fell	Q
And the burning wind was a blast of hell	Q
But Danny held me with steady arm	R
And the Babe between us slept safe from harm	R
	-
We were nearly through and the battle won	I
When Danny drew rein with Ah God We re done	I
For before us the flames met roaring wide	O
Though safety lay on the other side	O
One moment a tremble the grey horse stood	O
Then oh thank God for the Irish blood	O
The Irish blood that in horse and man	G
Has never caved in since the world began	G
With a snort of defiance to smoke and flame	S
Through the raging furnace the grey horse came	S
Though laboured sobs shook his trembling side	O
And falling cinders scorched his hide	O
And Enniskillen won	I
	-
The grass is waving on hill and plain	T
And peace and plenty are here again	U
Our little home rebuilt once more	V
And the lean struggling year are o er	C
There s a paddock green on the river flat	O
Where a dear grey horse roams strong ans fat	O
Though on his back the scars still show	W
Deep scars where never a hair can grow	W
But still he holds his head with pride	O
And treads the earth with a kingly stride	O
Proud of his Irish blood	O
