| | | Artist: | Dropkick Murphys |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | THE ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 81 | | | | Lyrics: | In the merry month of June from my home I started left the girls of Taum nearly brokenhearted
saluted me father dear, kissed me darling
mother drank a pint of beer, my grief and tears to
smother then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born cut a stout blackthorn to banish
ghosts and goblin, brand-new pair of brogues, rattling o'er the bogs frightening all the dogs on the
rocky road to Dublin.
In Mullingar last night, I rested limbs so weary started by
daylight next morning bright and early took a drop of the pure to keep me heart
from sinking
that's the daddy's cure when he's on the drinking see the lassies smile, laughing all the while at
me darling style, would set
your heart a-bubblin' asked me was I hired, wages I required
'til I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.
Chorus:
Hunt the hare
and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!
In
Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity to be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
decided to take a stroll all among the quality
bundle, it was stole in that neat locality
something crossed my mind when I looked behind no bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin'
crying for a rogue said me connaught brogue wasn't much in-vogue on the rocky road to
Dublin.
From there I got away, me spirits never failing landed on the quay just as
the ship was sailing captain at me roared, said that no room had
he then I jumped aboard a
cabin found for Daddy down among the pigs, played some funny rigs, danced some hearty jigs, the
water 'round
me bubblin' off to hollyhead wished myself was dead or better far instead on
the rocky road to Dublin.
The boys in Liverpool, when we safely landed called
myself a fool, I could no longer stand it blood began to boil, temper I was losing poor
old
Erin's Isle they began abusing hooray me soul, says I, let the shellaillagh fly some galway boys
were nigh, saw I was a-hobblin' with a
loud array, they joined me in the fray and soon we
cleared the way on the rocky road to Dublin | | | |
