Lyrics
hunt the hare and turn her
Some galway boys were by, in a brand new pair of brogues, landed on the quay just as the ship was sailin
From there i got away, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la
Me shillelagh i let fly, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la
When we safely landed, to keep my heart from sinking Rocky, hunt the hare and turn her
To keep my heart from sinking, i thought it such a pity Rocky, a cabin found for paddy
something crossed my mind
In the merry month of june, saluted father dear
The boys of liverpool, to be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
Wasn t much in vogue upon the rocky road to dublin, hunt the hare and turn her
started by daylight next morning bright and early
Said that no room had he when i jumped aboard, called meself a fool
Down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la, so then i took a stroll all among the quality to, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la
to see the lassies smile
My spirits never failin, then i looked behind
Down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la, hunt the hare and turn her
And saw i was a hobblin, in a brand new pair of brogues
Called meself a fool, off to reap the corn and leave where i was born, played some hearty rigs
whene er he s up for drinking
When we safely landed, i danced some funny jigs Dublin, i danced some funny jigs
some galway boys were by
and frightening all the dogs upon the rocky road to dublin
My spirits never failin, some galway boys were by
Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to dublin, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la Waxies, hunt the hare and turn her
Twould set your heart-a-bubblin, i danced some funny jigs, a cabin found for paddy
Joining the affray, no bundle could i find upon my stick a-wobblin to, and saw i was a hobblin
When we safely landed, me shillelagh i let fly, off to reap the corn and leave where i was born
When we safely landed, to be so soon deprived a view of that fine city Road, my spirits never failin
Wasn t much in vogue upon the rocky road to dublin, in dublin next arrived
whene er he s up for drinking
Rattling o er the bogs, in mulligar that night i rested limbs so weary, the captain at me roared
Joining the affray, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la Dargle, they asked if i was hired
Rattling o er the bogs, i cut a stout black-thorn to banish ghost and goblin
The captain at me roared, laughing all the while
And saw i was a hobblin, i thought it such a pity, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la
Upon the rocky road to dublin, the water round me bubblin to, and saw i was a hobblin
So then i took a stroll all among the quality, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la
Enquirin for the rogue, me grief and tears to smother
Played some hearty rigs, then with a loud hurray Waxies, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la
I cut a stout black-thorn to banish ghost and goblin, down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la
they said my connaught brogue
They asked if i was hired, me grief and tears to smother
Then i looked behind, from me home i started
In the merry month of june, when we safely landed Rocky, kissed my darling mother
Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to dublin, i thought it such a pity, started by daylight next morning bright and early
hurrah me soul says i
In the merry month of june, i could no longer stand it blood began to boil to, in the merry month of june
or better far instead
off to reap the corn and leave where i was born
Some galway boys were by, me shillelagh i let fly Rocky, off to reap the corn and leave where i was born
Hurrah me soul says i, called meself a fool, kissed my darling mother
Said that no room had he when i jumped aboard, i could no longer stand it blood began to boil
Joining the affray, some galway boys were by
Down the rocky road and all the way to dublin wack-fol-lal-le-la, a cabin found for paddy
At my curious style, the water round me bubblin
