The Rocky Road To Dublin by Paddy ReillyKey: AmAm | Capo: 0fr |In the merry month of June, When first from home I started Am G Left the girls of Tuam , So sad and broken hearted Am Am Saluted Father dear, Kissed me darlin' Mother Am G And drank a pint of beer, Me grief and tears to smother Am G Am G Then off to reap the corn, Leave where I was born Am G G G Cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghosts and goblin Am G Am G Bought a pair of brogues, Rattle over the bogs Am G G G Frightened all the dogs, On the rocky road to Dublin Am G Am One, Two, Three, Four, Five Am Am Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road G Am G Am And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da Am Am When in Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary Am G Started by daylight, Me spirits bright and early Am Am Took a drop o' pure, Keep me heart from sinking Am G That's a paddy's cure, Whenever he's on drinking Am G Am G To see the lassie's smile, Laughing all the while Am G G G At me curious style, Would set your heart to bubbling Am G Am G Asked me I was hired, Wages I required Am G G G I was almost tired, On the rocky road to Dublin Am G Am One, Two, Three, Four, Five Am Am Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road G Am G Am And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da Am Am Well in Dublin next arrived, I thought it be a pity Am G To be so soon deprived, A view of that fine city Am Am Then I took a stroll, All among the quality Am G Me bundle it was stole, In a neat locality Am G Am G Something crossed me mind, When I looked behind Am G Am G No bundle could I find, Upon me stick a wobbling Am G Am G Enquiring after the rogue, They said me Connacht brouge Am G G G Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin Am G Am One, Two, Three, Four, Five Am Am Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road G Am G Am And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da Am Am Well, From there I got away, Me spirits never failing Am G Landed on the quay, Just as the ship was sailing Am Am Captain at me roared, Said that no room had he Am G When I jumped aboard, A cabin found for Paddy Am G Am G Down among the pigs, Played some hearty rigs Am G G G Danced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin' Am G Am G When off Holyhead, I wished meself was dead Am G G G Or, Better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin Am G Am One, Two, Three, Four, Five Am Am Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road G Am G Am And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da Am Am Well, The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed Am G Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it Am Am Blood began to boil, Temper I was losing Am G Poor ould Erins Isle, They began abusing Am G Am G Hurrah me soul says I, Shillelagh I let fly Am G Am G Some Galway boys were by, Saw I was a-hollerin' Am G Am G Then with a loud horray, They joined in the affray Am G G G We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin Am G Am One, Two, Three, Four, Five Am Am Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road G Am G Am And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de daaaa
