Dropkick Murphys - Rocky Road To Dublin lyrics

In the merry month of June from my home i started left the girls of Taum nearly broken hearted saluted me dear father dear, kissed me darling mother, drank a pint of beer, my grief and tears to smother then off to reap the corn, leave where i was born cut a stout of blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins, brand new pair of brogues, rattling o'er the bogs frightening all the dogs on the rocky road to dublin and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. In Mullingar last night, i rested limbs so weary started by daylight next morning bright and early took a drop of the pure to me heart from sinking thats the daddys cure when hes on the drinking see the la**ies smile, laughing all the while at me darling style, woud set your heart-a-bubblin' asked me was i hired, wages i required til i was almost tired of the rocky road to dublin and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Chorus: Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublinm whack-fol-la-de-da. In Dublin next arrived, i thought it such a pity to be so soon deprived a view of that fine city decided to take a stroll all among the quality bundler, it was stole in that neat locality something crossed my mind when i looked behind no bundle could i find upon me stick a-wobblin' crying for rogue said me connaught brougue wasnt much in vogue on the rocky road to dublin and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Chorus From there i got away, me spirits never failing landed on the quay just as the ship was sailing captain at me roared, said that room had he then i jumped aboard a cabin found for daddy down among the pigs, played some funny rigs, danced some hearty jigs, the water round my bubblin off to hollyhead, wished myself was dead or better far instead on the rocky road to dublin and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Chorus The boys in liverpool, when we safely landed call meself a fool, i could not long stand it blood began to boil, temper i was losing poor old erin's isle they began abusing hooray me soul, says i, let the shellaillagh fly some galway boys were nigh, say i was a-hobblin with a loud array, they joined me in the fray and soon we cleared the war on the rocky road to dublin and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Chorus
