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.
