that come from near and far
Till I sing for you a verse or two
in praise of "Motor Car"
Motor Car was six years old; she
never feared a foe
And she far surpassed the nobles
at the grand Oldcastle Show
They came from Trim and Navan
from Moate and Mullingar
To bring the cup from Hughie
and his mare called "Motor Car"
When Motor saw the strangers
to her jockey then she said

be not the least dismayed
Hold fast on to your saddle
And you and I will sup a glass
of Irish whiskey for were sure to win the cup"

And as she crossed the hurdle leap
