lirik lagu pogues - the rocky road to dublin
’twas in the merry month of june from me home i
started,
left the girls in tuam nearly broken-hearted,
saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother,
drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother,
then off to reap the corn, leave where i was born,
cut a stout blackth-rn to banish ghosts and goblins,
brand new pair of brogues 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
and all the way to dublin, whack follol de dah!
in mullingar that night i rested tired and weary,
up the very next morning feeling bright and early,
had a drop of the pure to keep me heart from sinking,
thats the paddy’s cure whene’er he’s up for drinking.
see the l-ssies smile, laughing all the while
at me curious style, ‘twould set your heart a bubblin’,
asked me was i hired, wages i required,
till i was sick and tired and on the rocky road to
dublin.
chorus
in dublin next arrived, i thought it such a pity
to be soon deprived a view of that fine city.
when i took a stroll, all among the quality,
me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality.
something crossed me mind, when i looked behind,
no bundle could i find upon me stick a-wobblin’,
asking for the rogue, they told me connacht brogue
wasn’t much in vogue on the rocky road to dublin.
chorus
from there i got away, me spirits never failing,
landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing.
the captain at me roared, said no more room had he,
when i jumped aboard, a cabin found for paddy.
down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs,
danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubblin’,
when off holyhead wished that i 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, temper i was losing,
dear old erin’s isle they began abusing.
“hurrah me soul,” says i, shillelagh i let fly,
galway boys were nigh and saw i was a hobble in,
with a load “hurray” joined in the affray,
we quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to
dublin.
chorus
