Dropkick Murphys - The Rocky Road To Dublin (Traditional) Lyrics






In the merry month of June, From my home I started,
Left the girls of Tuam, Nearly broken hearted,
Saluted me father dear, Kissed me darling mother,
Drank a pint of beer, My grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, And leave where I was born,
Cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghost and goblin,
In a brand new pair of brogues, go rattling o'er the bogs,
Frightening all the dogs, On the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three, four, five

In Mullingar last night, I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight, Next morning bright and early,
Took a drop of the pure, To keep my heart from sinking,
That's the Paddy's cure, When he's on the drinking.
See the lassies smile, Laughing all the while,
At me darling style, 'Twould set your heart a-bubbling.
Asked me was I hired, The wages I required,
Till I was almost tired, Of the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!

In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity,
To be so soon deprived, A view of that fine city.
Decided to take a stroll, All among the quality,
My bundle it was stole, In a neat locality;
Something crossed my mind, When I looked behind;
No bundle could I find, Upon me stick a wobbling.
Enquiring for a rogue, They said me Connacht brogue,
Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!

From there I got away, Me spirits never failing
Landed on the quay just as the ship was sailing;
Captain at me roared, Said that no room had he,
then I jumped aboard, A cabin found for Paddy,
Down among the pigs played some funny rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubbling,
When off to Holyhead, Wished myself was dead,
Or better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!

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,
Poor old Erin's isle They began abusing,
"Hurrah my soul," sez I, Let the shillelagh fly;
Some Galway boys were nigh, Saw I was a hobbling,
With a loud hurray, They joined me in the fray.
Soon we cleared the way, O'er the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road and all the way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!

    maybe I'm just picky, but the BBC sherlock with Cumberbatch just never seemed to convey the manliness or charisma of the original character. RDJ wasn't perfect but closer I think.

    E.... O....

    did sherlock ever break into a sweat in the books?

    E.... O....

    @Howard Pearcey Boy he could bend an iron poker. It was mentioned that he was well trained in barijutsu, I think it was, which was a combination of kickboxing jujitsu and fighting with a cane.

    I'm Polish patriot, but I also love Ireland ❤️ God bless our both Nations! 🇵🇱🇮🇪 We were always born to be free, and even in the Shadow of the occupation there were whispers of freedom. Our Nations were both occupied, yours by British and ours by Germany, Austria and Russia. Long live Polish and Irish people 🇵🇱🇮🇪❤️. Me nation should be friends with you.

    Annoying Americans that think theyre irish incoming.

    M.... T....

    @Husbandryenvy Im not wrong bud dont deny it.

    M.... T....

    @Husbandryenvy Then you're calling our whole country tramps. Its a running joke throughout Ireland about Americans thinking theyre Irish. Relax feller its just a light hearted joke dont take it to heart ye gimp.

    M.... T....

    @Husbandryenvy Im from a traveller community in Dublin and the yanks just annoy me chattin abou their 3% Irish ancestry and saying shi like "ToP Of ThE MoRnInG" n'all. Sister done a dna test she's 99% Irish so sorry bud no tans here. Dont know where you'r from feller but if ye lived in Dublin you'd dislike them too.

    M.... T....

    @Husbandryenvy Shut your fucking mouth ye goon bet you'r just a yank that has a basic enough grasp of Irish history to come off as a slight bit Irish getting all wired when I "joke" abou Americans. No Irish people give two shits abou "diaspora" (had to google that word since who cares enough to know what it means) and assuming I'm English just cause of the second name how am I meant to know where it comes from all I know is Im 99% Irish. My ma's name is MacDonnell I just took my Da's second name. You'r a plastic fenian pal.

    Rebs, when you lynched the slaves you lynched Jesus Christ, He once said, "whatsoever you do unto the least of these, my little ones, you have done it unto me", KJV. Hear, hear depart, and distance your selves from sympathizing with who love and practice hatred.
