Lyrics Rocky Road To Dublin - Feat. Luke Kelly - Liam Clancy
Well
In
the
merry
month
of
May
From
me
home
I
started
Left
the
girls
of
Tuam
Nearly
broken
hearted
Saluted
father
dear
Kissed
me
darlin'
mother
Drank
a
pint
of
beer
Me
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
o'er
the
bogs
And
frightened
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-lol-de-ra.
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'
That's
the
Paddy's
cure
Whene'er
he's
on
for
drinking.
To
see
the
lasses
smile
Laughing
all
the
while
At
my
curious
style
'Twould
set
your
heart
a-bubblin'.
They
ax'd
if
I
was
hired
The
wages
I
required
Till
I
was
almost
tired
Of
the
rocky
road
to
Dublin.
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
Wasn't
much
in
vogue
On
the
rocky
road
to
Dublin.
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.
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
Erin's
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.
