Rocky Road to
Dublin DK Gavan, mid 19
th century
YouTube tutorial: http://youtu.be/mg0HyVjmarA
[Jaunty, bouncy strum: D-uD-uD]
VERSE 1: D5 In the merry month of June C5 was from me home I started D5 Left the girls of Tuam C5 well nearly broken hearted D5 Saluted father dear C5 I kissed me darling mother D5 Drank a pint of beer C5 me grief and tears to smother
D5 C5 Then off to reap the corn D5 C5 leave where I was born D5 A5 I cut the stout blackthorn C5 to banish ghosts and goblins
D5 C5 A brand new pair of brogues D5 C5 rattlin oer the bogs D5 A5 frightnin all the dogs - on C5 the rocky road to Dub’lin A5 C5 D5 One, two, t’ree, four, five
VERSE 2: In Mullingar that night
I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight
me spirits blithe and airy
Took a drop o the pure
to keep me heart from sinking
That’s the Paddy’s cure
whene’er he’s on for drinking
See the lassies smile laughin all the while
at me curious style
twould set your heart a-bubblin Asked if I was hired wages I required
til I was nearly tired - of
the rocky road to Dub’lin One, two, t’ree, four, five
VERSE 3: In Dub’lin next arrived
I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived
a view of that fine city
Well then I took a stroll
all among the quality
Bundle it was stole
all in a neat locality
Somethin crossed me mind
I - looked behind
no bundle could I find
upon me stick awobblin
Enquiring for the rogue
they said me Connaught brogue
wasn’t much in vogue - on
the rocky road to Dub’lin
One, two, t’ree, four, five
VERSE 4: From there I gots away
me spirits never failing
Landed on the quay
just as the ship was sailing
The captain at me roared
said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard
a cabin found for Paddy
Well down among the pigs
they had some funny 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 Dub’lin
One, two, t’ree, four, five
VERSE 5: The boys of Liverpool
awhen we safely landed
Called meself a fool
I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil
me temper I was losin
Poor old Erin’s Isle
well they began abusin
“Hurrah me soul!” says I
shillelagh I let fly
some Galway boys were nigh
and saw I was a-hobblin
With a loud “hurray!”
they joined in the affray
we quickly cleared the way- for
the rocky road to Dub’lin
One, two, t’ree, four, five
CHORUS: D5 Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road C5 and all the way to Dub’lin A5 C5 D5 Whack follol de rah!
