Rocky road to Dublin
[00:07.17] In the merry month of June from me home I started
[00:10.32] Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted
[00:12.72] Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother
[00:15.48] Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
[00:17.99] Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
[00:20.75] Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins
[00:23.51] A brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' o'er the bogs
[00:26.02] Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
[00:29.52] One two three four five
[00:30.68] Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
[00:32.82] And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
[00:38.72] In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
[00:41.23] Started by daylight me spirits bright and airy
[00:43.99] Took a drop of the pure
[00:45.24] Keep me heart from sinking
[00:46.75] That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking
[00:49.51] To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while
[00:51.66] At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
[00:54.67] An' asked if I was hired, wages I required
[00:57.17] 'Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin
[01:00.69] One two three four five
[01:01.94] Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
[01:03.94] And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
[01:09.71] In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
[01:12.37] To be soon deprived a view of that fine city
[01:15.27] Well then I took a stroll, all among the quality
[01:17.78] Bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality
[01:20.43] Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
[01:22.94] No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
[01:25.95] Enquiring for the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
[01:28.46] Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
[01:31.47] One two three four five
[01:32.97] Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
[01:35.62] And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
[01:39.89] From there I got away, me spirits never falling
[01:42.40] Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
[01:45.16] The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he
[01:47.56] When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
[01:50.57] Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs
[01:52.82] Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
[01:55.83] When off Holyhead wished meself was dead
[01:58.24] Or better far instead
[01:59.49] On the rocky road to Dublin
[02:01.50] One two three four five
[02:02.90] Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
[02:05.41] And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
[02:39.25] The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
[02:42.01] Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
[02:44.77] Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
[02:47.16] Poor old Erin's isle they began abusing
[02:49.92] "Hurrah me soul!" says I, me shillelagh I let fly
[02:52.17] Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in
[02:55.82] With a loud "Hurray!" joined in the affray
[02:57.45] We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
[03:00.96] One two three four five
[03:02.22] Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
[03:04.48] And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
[03:07.74] Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
[03:09.89] And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
[03:12.90] Whack fol lol le rah!
[03:13.65] Whack fol lol le rah!
