Rocky Road to Dublin (Ragnarap mix)

[Verse 1] In the merry month of June from me home I started, Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken-hearted, Saluted father dear, kissed me darling 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, And frightened all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin. [Chorus] One, two, three, four, five, Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road, And all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-lol-de-da! [Verse 2] 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 sinking, That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking. To see the lassies smile, laughin' all the while, At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin', And asked if I was hired, wages I required, 'Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin. [Verse 3] I landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing, The captain at me roared, swore that no room had he. But when I leaped on board, they a cabin found for Paddy, Down among the pigs I played such rummy rigs, Danced some hearty jigs, with water round me bubblin', But when off Holyhead, I wished that I was dead, Or safely put in bed, on the rocky road to Dublin. [Chorus] One, two, three, four, five, Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road, And all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-lol-de-da! [outro] The rocky road, And all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-lol-de-da!
