In the merry month of |
|
MayFrom me home |
|
I startedLeft the girls of |
|
TuamSad and broken hearted |
|
Salute me father dear |
|
And kissed me darlin' mother |
|
Then drank a pint of beer |
|
Me tears and grief to smother |
|
Off to reap the corn |
|
Leave where |
|
I was born |
|
I cut a stoat black thorn |
|
To banish ghosts and |
|
GoblinsIn a pair of brand new of brogues |
|
Rattled over the bogs |
|
I frightened all the dogs |
|
On the rocky road to |
|
Dublin1 2 3 4 5 |
|
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road |
|
And all the way to |
|
Dublin, whacks fer al de da |
|
In Dublin next arrived |
|
And thought it such a pity |
|
To be so soon deprived |
|
A view of that fair city |
|
Then I took a stroll |
|
All amongst the quality |
|
Me bundle it was stole |
|
In that neat locality |
|
Something crossed me mind |
|
When I looked behind |
|
No bundle |
|
I could find |
|
Upon me stick a wobblin' |
|
Enquiring after the rogue |
|
Said me "Connaught BrogueWas not much in vogueOn the rocky road to Dublin"1 2 3 4 5 |

|
Called myself a fool |
|
I could no longer stand it |
|

|
For old Erin's isle |
|
They began abusing |
|

|
They saw I was a hobblin' |
|
With a loud "Hurray" |
|

|
For the rocky road to |
