The Irish Brigade - Rocky Road To Dublin
10
Copied!
{verse 1}
In the merry month o' june, from me home i started
Kissed the girls of tuam, left them broken hearted
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me tears and grief to smother
Then off the reap the corn, leave where i was born
Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins
Brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' all the bogs
Fightin' 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 thе way to dublin, whack fol-lai-de-rye!
{verse 2}
In mullingar next night, rеsted, limbs so weary
Started by daylight, that morning light and airy
Took a drop of the pure, to stop me heart from sinking
That's (?...) cure when he's off to drinking!
To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style to send your heat a-wobblin'
And asked if i was hired, wages i required
'till i was almost 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 way to dublin, whack fol-lai-de-rye!
{verse 3}
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, all in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when i looked behind
No bundle could i find, upon me stick a-wobblin'
I asked him for the rogue, in me connaught brogue
Wasn't much a 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 way to dublin, whack fol-lai-de-rye!
{tin whistle solo}
{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
Then 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'
Then off holyhead, wished that i was dead
Or better off 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 way to dublin, whack fol-lai-de-rye!
{verse 5}
The boys of liverpool, when i safely landed
Called meself a fool, i could no longer stand it
Blood, it began to boil, temper i was losin'
Poor old erin's isle they began abusing!
"hurrah me soul!" says i, me shillelagh i let fly
Some galway boys were by, saw me was a hobble in
With a loud "hurray!" joined in the affray
Quickly, did way on the rocky road to dublin
{chorus}
One, two, three, four, five
The hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to dublin, whack fol-lai-de-rye!
