Lyrics Rocky Road to Dublin

Well in the merry month of may from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam nearly brokenhearted saluted father dear
Kissed me darling mother drank a pint of beer me grief and tears to smother then off
To reap the corn and leave where I was born
Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand new pair of brogues to rattle over the bogs and frighten all the dogs
On the rocky road to Dublin one two three four five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin whack fol lah deh dah
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 me heart from sinking that's the paddy's cure when there he's off for drinking to see the lassies smile
Laughing all the while at my curious style 'twould set your heart a bubblin' they asked me was I hired
The wages I required till I was almost tired over the rocky road to Dublin one two three four five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky roads
And all the ways to Dublin whack fol lah deh dah
In Dublin next arrived I thought it such a pity to be so soon deprived a view of that fine city then I took the stroll
All among the quality bundle it was stolen in a neat locality something crossed me mind
And I looked behind no bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin' enquirin' for the rogue
The said me Connaught brogue it wasn't much in
Vogue on the rocky road to
Dublin one two three four five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin whack fol lah deh dah
From there I got away me spirits never failin' landed on the quay
Just as the ship was sailing the captain at me roared
Said that no room had he when
I jumped aboard a cabin found for paddy
Down among the pigs did some hearty rigs
I played 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 ways to Dublin whack fol lah deh dah
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 losing poor Old
Erin's Isle they began abusing
Hooray my soul says
I my Shillelagh I let fly some
Galway boys were by and saw
I was a hobble in with a loud hurray they joined in the affray
Quickly cleared the way on the rocky road to Dublin one two three four five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin whack fol lah deh dah
