Rocky Road To Dublin The Irish Brigade

[Verse 1]
In the merry month o' June, from me home I started
Kissed the girls of Tuam, left them broken hearted
Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, me tears and grief to smother
Then off the reap the corn, leave where I was born
Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins
Brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' all the bogs
Fightin' 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 thе way to Dublin, whack fol-lai-de-rye!

[Verse 2]
In Mullingar next night, rеsted, limbs so weary
Started by daylight, that morning light and airy
Took a drop of the pure, to stop me heart from sinking
That's [?] cure when he's off to drinking!
To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style to send your heat a-wobblin'
And asked if I was hired, wages I required
'Till I was almost tired of 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 fol-lai-de-rye!
