Firkin - Rocky road to Dublin dalszöveg (lyrics)

Well in the merry month of May
I from my home i started
Left the girls in Tuam
A-nearly broken hearted
Saluted father dear, kissed
Me darling mother, drank a pint of beer
My tears and grief to smother
Then off to reap the corn
Leave where I was born
Cut a stout black-thorn to
Banish ghost and goblin
Brand new pair of brogues, Rattling o’er the
Frightening 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 way to Dublin
Whack-for-al-de ay!

In Mullingar that night I
Rested limbs so weary started by daylight
Next morning bright and early
Took a drop of the pure
Keep the hearts from sinking
That’s the Paddy’s cure
Whenever his on drinking
See the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me daring style
’twould set heart a hubbling
Asked me I was hired, wages I requied
Until I almost tired on the
Rocky road to Dublin

In Dublin next arrived, I tought
It was a pity to be so soon deprived of a
View of that fine city
Decided to take a stroll
All among the quality
Bundle it was stolen in that neat locality
Something crossed my mind, when I look behind
No bundle could I find
Upon my stick a-wobbling
Inquiring for the rogue
They said my Connaught brogue
Wasn’t much in vogue on the
Rocky road to Dublin

From there I got away
My spirit’s never failing
Landed on the stage
Just as the ship was sailing
Captain at me roared
Said that no room had he
Then I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs I
Played such hearty rigs
Danced some hearty jigs
With water round me bubbling
Off to Holyhead, I wished meself 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
My blood began to boil
My temper I was losing
And poor old Erin’s Isle
They all began abusing
Hurrah! my boys, says I, shillealgh fly
Galway boys were nigh
They see I was a hobble in
Then with a loud hooray joined the a-fray
Soon we cleared the way for
The rocky road to Dublin
