Paroles
[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

As I rode down to Galway town to seek for recreation
On the seventeenth of August me mind being elevated
There were multitudes assembled with their tickets at the station
Me eyes began to dazzle and I'm goin' to see the races.

[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

There were passengers from Limerick and passengers from Nenagh
And passengers from Dublin and sportsmen from Tipperary
There were passengers from Kerry, and all quarters of the nation
And our member, Mr. Hearst, for to join the Galway Blazers.

[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

There were multitudes from Aran, and members from New Quay Shore
Boys from Connemara and the Claire unmarried maidens
There were people from Cork city who were loyal, true and faithful;
Who brought home the Fenian prisoners from diverse foreign nations.

[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

And it's there you'll see confectioners with sugarsticks and dainties
The lozenges and oranges, the lemonade and raisins
The gingerbread and spices to accomodate the ladies
And a big crubeen for thruppence to be pickin' while you're able.

[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

And it's there you'll see the gamblers, the thimbles and the garters
And the spotting Wheel of Fortune with the four and twenty quarters
There was others without scruple pelting wattles at poor Maggy
And her daddy well-contented and he lookin' at his daughter.

[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

And it's there you'll see the pipers and the fiddlers competing
The nimble footed dancers a-tripping over the daisies
There were others crying cigars and lights and bills for all the races
With the colors of the jockeys and the prize and horses' ages.

[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

And it's there you'll see the jockeys and they're mounted out so stately
The pink, the blue, the orange, and green, the emblem of our nation
When the bell was rung for starting, all the horses seemed so impatient
I thought they never stood on ground their speed was so amazing.

[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

There was half a million people there from all denominations
The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew, and Presbyterian
There was yet no animosity, no matter what persuasion
But "failte" and hospitality inducin' fresh acquaintance.

[Chorus:]
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day
For me whack for me dew for me dithery iddle day

Il s'agit de la version extraite de "A drop of the hard stuff" considéré comme leur meilleur disque par les spécialistes. Au verso du disque une présentation des Dubliners qui aligne leur dream team à cette époque :
- Barney McKenna (banjo, décédé en 2012),
- Ciaron Bourke (multi-instrumentiste, décédé en 1988),
- John Sheahan (violonniste et seul encore en vie en 2022),
- le légendaire Luke Kelly (voix et guitares, décédé en 1984)
- et le chanteur Ronnie Drew, une autre légende des pubs, décédé en 2008.
