Merry month of june
And from my home i started
Left the girls of tuam
Nearly broken hearted;
Saluted father dear
Kissed my darlin' mother
Drank a pint of beer
My grief and tears to smother.
Off to reap the corn
Leave where i was born
Cut a stout blackthorn
To banish ghosts and goblins;
In a brand new pair of brogues
I rattled o'er the bogs
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
All the way to dublin
One two three four five!
In mulingar that night
I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight
Next morning light and airy;
Took a drop of the pure
To keep my heart from sinking
That's a paddy's cure
Whenever he's for drinking.
See the lassies smile
Laughing all the while
At my daring style
'twould set your heart a-bubblin';
They asked if i was hired
Wages i required
'til i was almost tired
Of the rocky road to dublin.
Chorus:
In dublin next arrived
And thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived
A view of that fine city;
When i took a stroll
All among the quality
My bundle it was stole
In that neat locality.
Something crossed my mind
Then i looked behind
No bundle i could find
Upon my stick a-wobblin';
Enquiring for the rogue
They said my connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue
On the rocky road to dublin.
Chorus:
Then the following day
Spirits never failing
I landed on the quay
Just as a ship was sailing;
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 merry rigs
I danced some hearty jigs
The water 'round me bubblin';
When off holyhead
I wished meself was dead
Or better far instead
On the rocky road to dublin.
Chorus:
The boys of liverpool
When we safely landed
Called meself a fool
I could no longer stand it;
Blood began to boil
Me temper it was risin'
For old erin's isle
They began abusing.
"hurrah me soul!" said i
Me shillelagh i let fly
Some galway boys were by
They saw i was a-hobblin';
With a loud hurray!
They joined in the affray
We quickly cleared the way
For the rocky road to dublin.
Chorus:
