Lyrics
As the light declines, that once was dublin city in the rare ould times, ring a ring a rosey
i remember dublin city in the rare ould times
fare thee well sweet anna liffey
i lost her to a student chap
I can no longer stay, as the light declines, as the light declines
She took away my soul, ring a ring a rosey
As the light declines, ring a ring a rosey
ring a ring a rosey
as the light declines
my trade s a memory
my trade s a memory
to be by trade i was a cooper
Heroes of renown, i remember dublin city in the rare ould times, i m part of what was dublin
And watch the new glass cages, the royal long since Old, ring a ring a rosey
And nothing seems the, heroes of renown Times, as the light declines
To be by trade i was a cooper, i remember dublin city in the rare ould times Times, the gargle dims me brain
That spring up along the, with skin as black as coal
To be by trade i was a cooper, when he took her off to birmingham
as the grey unyielding concrete
Ring a ring a rosey, my mind s too full of memories
