[00:08.650] While in the merry month of may from me home I started
[00:11.920] Left the girls of tuam so sad and broken hearted
[00:14.320] Saluted father dear kissed me darling mother
[00:17.110] Drank a pint of beer me grief and tears to smother
[00:19.720] Then off to reap the corn leave where I was born
[00:22.240] Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins
[00:25.010] Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs
[00:27.370] And frightning all the dogs on the rocky road to dublin
[00:30.620] One two three four five
[00:31.800] Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
[00:34.260] all the way to dublin Whack follol de rah
[00:37.370] In mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
[00:39.920] Started by daylight next morning blithe and early
[00:42.660] Took a drop of pure to keep me heartfrom sinking
[00:45.250] Thats a paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking
[00:47.680] See the lassies smile laughing all the while
[00:50.410] At me curious style twould set your heart a bubblin
[00:52.940] Asked me was I hired wages I required
[00:55.460] I was almost tired of the rocky road to dublin
[00:58.560] One two three four five
[00:59.890] Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
[01:02.180] all the way to dublin whack follol de rah
[01:05.200] In dublin next arrived I thought it such a pity
[01:07.770] To be soon deprived a view of that fine city
[01:10.000] So then I took a stroll all among the quality
[01:12.490] Me bundle it was stole all in a neat locality
[01:15.400] Something crossed me mind when I looked behind
[01:17.750] No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin
[01:20.420] Enquiring for the rogue they said me connaught brogue
[01:22.770] Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to dublin
[01:25.770] One two three four five
[01:26.850] Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
[01:29.330] all the way to dublin whack follol de rah
[01:32.270] From there I got away me spirits never falling
[01:34.850] Landed on the quay just as the ship was sailing
[01:37.390] The captain at me roared said that no room had he
[01:39.910] When I jumped aboard a cabin found for paddy
[01:42.270] Down among the pigs played some hearty rigs
[01:44.740] Danced some hearty jigs the water round me bubbling
[01:47.420] When off holyhead I wished meself was dead
[01:49.680] Or better for instead on the rocky road to dublin
[01:52.770] One two three four five
[01:53.880] Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
[01:56.320] all the way to dublin whack follol de rah
[01:59.280] Well the boys of liverpool when we safely landed
[02:01.920] Called meself a fool I could no longer stand it
[02:04.340] Blood began to boil temper I was losing
[02:06.560] Poor old erin's isle they began abusing
[02:09.420] Hurrah me soul says I me shillelagh I let fly
[02:11.920] Some galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in
[02:15.580] With a load hurray joined in the affray
[02:16.890] We quitely cleared the way for the rocky road to dublin
[02:19.810] One two three four five
[02:20.910] Hunt the hare and turn her down
[02:22.530] the rocky road and all the way to dublin
[02:24.710] Whack follol de rah
[02:27.180]
