T和rocky road to Dublin

In the merry month of June, From my home I started,
Left the girls of Tuam, Nearly broken hearted,
Saluted father dear, Kissed my darlin mother,
Drank a pint of beer, My grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, And leave where I was born,
I cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghost and goblin,
In a brand new pair of brogues, I rattled oer the bogs,
And frightened all the dogs, On the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four, five
In Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight, Next mornin light and airy,
Took a drop of the pure, To keep my heart from sinkin,
Thats an Irishmans cure, Wheneer hes on for drinking.
To see the lasses smile, Laughing all the while,
At my curious style, Twould set your heart a-bubblin.
They axd if I was hired, The wages I required,
Till I was almost tired, Of the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four, five
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.
Then I took a stroll, All among the quality,
My bundle it was stole, In a neat locality;
Something crossed my mind, Then I looked behind;
No bundle could I find, Upon my stick a wobblin.
Enquirin for the rogue, They said my Connacht brogue,
Wasnt much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn herdown the rocky road and all the
way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!
From there I got away, My spirits never failin
Landed on the quay As the ship was sailin;
Captain at me roared, Said that no room had he,
When I jumped aboard, A cabin found for Paddy,
Down among the pigs I played some funny rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin,
When off Holyhead, I wished myself was dead,
Or better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the
way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!
The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed,
Called myself a fool; I could no longer stand it;
Blood began to boil, Temper I was losin,
Poor ould Erins isle They began abusin,
'Hurrah my soul,' sez I, My shillelagh I let fly;
Some Galway boys were by, Saw I was a hobble in,
Then with a loud hurray, They joined in the affray.
We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin.
One , two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the
way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the
way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!
