| [00:01.400] | In the merry month of May from me home I started, |
| [00:03.970] | Left the girls of Tuam so sad and broken hearted, |
| [00:06.390] | Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother, |
| [00:08.880] | Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother, |
| [00:11.560] | Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born, |
| [00:14.200] | Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins; |
| [00:16.260] | Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs |
| [00:20.000] | And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin. |
| [00:23.180] | One, two, three four, five, |
| [00:24.330] | Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road |
| [00:26.660] | all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah ! |
| [00:32.320] | In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary, |
| [00:34.550] | Started by daylight next morning blithe and early, |
| [00:37.650] | Took a drop of pure to keep me heartfrom sinking; |
| [00:40.410] | Thats a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking. |
| [00:43.060] | See the lassies smile, laughing all the while |
| [00:45.580] | At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin' |
| [00:48.280] | Asked me was I hired, wages I required, |
| [00:50.950] | I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin. |
| [00:54.280] | One, two, three four, five, |
| [00:55.780] | Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road |
| [00:58.260] | all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah ! |
| [01:03.490] | In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity |
| [01:06.080] | To be soon deprived a view of that fine city. |
| [01:08.270] | So then I took a stroll, all among the quality; |
| [01:10.660] | Me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality. |
| [01:14.340] | Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind, |
| [01:16.890] | No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin |
| [01:19.600] | Enquiring for the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue |
| [01:22.580] | Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin. |
| [01:25.600] | One, two, three four, five, |
| [01:26.810] | Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road |
| [01:29.720] | all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah ! |
| [01:33.630] | From there I got away, me spirits never falling, |
| [01:36.070] | Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing. |
| [01:38.620] | The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he; |
| [01:41.760] | When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy. |
| [01:43.420] | Down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs, |
| [01:46.530] | Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling; |
| [01:49.630] | When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead, |
| [01:52.450] | Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin. |
| [01:55.310] | One, two, three four, five, |
| [01:56.640] | Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road |
| [01:59.420] | all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah ! |
| [02:33.340] | Well the boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed, |
| [02:35.890] | Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it. |
| [02:38.740] | Blood began to boil, temper I was losing; |
| [02:41.320] | Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing. |
| [02:43.800] | "Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly. “ |
| [02:45.500] | Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in, |
| [02:49.050] | With a load "hurray !" joined in the affray. |
| [02:52.080] | We quitely cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin. |
| [02:55.130] | One, two, three four, five, |
| [02:56.170] | Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road |
| [02:57.780] | all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah ! |
