Rocky Road To Dublin Lyrics by Waxies Dargle

St. Patrick’s Day 2020: The Ultimate Irish Pub Party

0

[Verse 1]
In the merry month of June, well, from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam all dearly broken-hearted
Saluted father dear, I kissed me darlin' mother
Drank a pint of beer, grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn, for I was born
With a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand new pair of brogues rattlin' o'er bogs
Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin
Whack-fo-lo-lee-ra
[Verse 2]
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight, me spirits blithe and airy
Took a drop of the pure to keep my heart from sinkin'
That's the Paddy's cure when he's up for drinking
I see the lasses smile, laughing all the while
At my curious set, would set your heart a-bubblin'
Asked if I was hired, wages I required
'Til I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin
Whack-fo-lo-lee-ra
[Verse 3]
Dublin next I 'rived, I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived, a view of that fine city
Well, then I took a stroll all among the quality
Bundle it was stole and in the neat locality
Something crossed my mind, I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon my stick a wobblin'
'Quirin' for the rogue, said my Connacht brogues
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin
Whack-fo-lo-lee-ra
[Verse 4]
From there I got away, me spirits never failin'
Landed on the quay just as the ship was sailin'
The captain at me roared, said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Was down among the pigs, played some funny rigs
I danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubblin'
When off Holyhead, I wished meself was dead
Or better far, instead, on the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin
Whack-fo-lo-lee-ra
[Verse 5]
The boys of Liverpool, oh, when we safely landed
They called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, me temper I was losin'
Poor old Erin's Isle, what they began abusin'
"Hoorah me soul", says I, glee I let fly
The Galway boys were nigh and saw he was a-hobblin'
With a loud hooray, they joined me in the effray
Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin
Whack-fo-lo-lee-ra
