Well in the merry month of May now from me home I started, Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted, Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother, Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother, Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born, Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins; Brand new pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs And fright'ning 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 all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah !
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary, Started by daylight next morning light and early, Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from sinking; Thats a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking. To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin' Asked me was I hired, wages I required, Till I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be soon deprived a view of that fine city. then I took a stroll, all among the quality; Me bundle it was stolen, in a near locality. Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind, No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin' Enquiring after the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin.
From there I got 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. Down among the pigs, did some hearty rigs, Played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling; When off Holyhead wished meself was dead, Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin.
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 me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly. Some Galway boys nearby,they saw I was a-hobblin` With a load "hurray !" They joined in the affray. Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
