[Verse]
N.C
I work my days on a Galway farm,
N.C
In the sun and rain, wind and storm,
N.C
But once a year I'll chance my arm
N.C
And cross the sea to England.
N.C
N.C
Spend a week in Cheltenham town,
N.C
But the racing over, always down,
N.C
I come back poor from England
[Verse]
I dreamt one night before I left,
A coal-black mare with a white-star chest,
A
Crossed the line and beat the rest,
I came back rich to Galway.
I rose at dawn and drove all day,
G
Thinking, wondering all the way,
A
"Lady Luck, have you come to stay,
Or steal away my morning."
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Bm
When I got to Cheltenham town,
A
Irish faces all around,
No bed or mattress to be found,
I slept on the hillside.
Bm
Spent three days in the viewing ring,
A
Saw the horses they let in,
Bm
Just as I was giving in,
I stood and stared in wonder.
[Verse]
With stamping hooves and steaming breath,
A coal-black mare with a white star chest
I ran my finger down the list
F#m G
Matched the name and the number
Bm
Lady Luck had come half-way
The horse's name was Galway Bay
A
Twenty-to-one the odds that day
I went to make my wager
[Instrumental]
Bm A Bm A E
[Verse]
I counted out two thousand pounds
A
Held it high, slapped it down
The bookie smiled but made no sounds
I knew what he was thinking
The biggest loser in the land
A pounding heart, a shaking hand
I made my way up to the stand
The horses came to order
[Verse]
But at the first she nearly fell
I cursed my farmer's luck to hell
The second and third took quite well
F#m G
Way behind the leader
Then moving sweetly from the back
She found her rails and caught the pack
A
Ten to go and from the track
The hooves were drumming thunder.

[Verse]
She's catching horses one by one
G
Bridle flashing in the sun
A' hain to go, a mile to run
F#m G
Two were up before her
Bm
On the straight down they sped
G
Left one at the last for dead
A
Caught the next and by a head
N.C
She came home the winner
[Verse]
So I came back to my Galway farm
A wiser and richer man
Bm
Never again I'll chance my arm
Or cross the sea to England
'Cause Lady Luck was mine that day
I held her close, I went my way
Now I raise my glass to Galway Bay
And the dream of a Galway farmer
