Rocky Road To Dublin
Orthodox Celts

In the merry month of June from me home I started

Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted

Saluted father dear kissed me darlin' mother

Drank a pint of beer me grief and tears to smother

Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born

Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghost and goblins

Brand new pair of brogues rattled o'er the bogs

Frightened all the dogs on rocky road to Dublin


Chorus:

One two three four five

Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road

And all the way to Dublin whack fol lol de ra


In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary

Blinded by daylight next morning light and airy

Took a drop of the pure to keep my heart from sinking

That's an Irish cure whene'er he's on for drinking

To see the lasses smile, laughing all the while

At my curious style, t'would set your heart a-bubbling

Ax'd if I was hired, wages I required

I was almost tired on rocky road to Dublin


Chorus


In Dublin next arrived I thought it such a pity

To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city

Then I took a stroll all among the quality

Bundle it was stole in a neat locality

Something crossed me mind, then I looked behind

No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin'

Enquiring for the rogue, said me Connaught brogue

Wasn't much in vogue on rocky road to Dublin


Chorus


From there I got away my spirits never failing

Landed on the quay as the ship was sailing

Captain at me roared, said that no room had he

When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy

Down among the pigs, Played some funny rigs

Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubblin'

Off to Holyhead, wished myself was dead

Or better far, instead, on rocky road to Dublin


Chorus


The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed

Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it

Blood began to boil, temper I was losin'

Poor old Erin's isle they began abusin'

Hurrah me soul sez I, me shillelagh I let fly

Galway boys were by, saw I was a hobble in

Then with a loud Hurrah, joined in affray

Quickly cleared the way, on rocky road to Dublin
