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



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



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!
