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 blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins A brand new pair of brogues rattlin' o'er the bogs Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin Chorus (after each verse): One two three four five Hunt the hare and turn her Down the rocky road All the way to Dublin Whack fol lol le rah In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary Started by daylight me spirits bright and airy Took a drop of the pure, keep me heart from sinkin' That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on for drinkin' To see the lassies smile, laughin' all the while At me curious style 'twould set your heart a-bubblin' Asked if I was hired, wages I required 'Til I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin In Dublin next arrived, 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 all in the neat locality Somethin' crossed me mind when I looked behind No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin' Enquirin' for the rogue, said me Connacht brogue Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin 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 Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs Danced some hearty jigs, the water 'round me bubblin' When off Holyhead, wished meself was dead Or better far instead on the rocky road to Dublin 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," says I, my shillelagh I let fly Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a-hobblin' With a loud hurray, joined in the affray We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin Hunt the hare and turn her Down the rocky road All the way to Dublin Whack fol lol le rah Whack fol lol le rah Whack fol lol le rah |
