Lyrics

Oh I am a true born Dublin man From the Liffey side I hail And the motte says I'm the quarest one This side of Mountjoy jail For I love the craic and the porter black In those pubs of high renown There is not a place in the whole wide world Like dear old Dublin town When I was young and in my prime Oh my banjo I would play All around in the pubs in the Liberties From noon until the break of day For I love the craic and the porter black In those pubs of high renown There is not a place in the whole wide world Like dear old Dublin town On Friday night it's my delight When my weekly toil is done The motte and me go on the town To sing and dance and have some fun For I love the craic and the porter black In those pubs of high renown There is not a place in the whole wide world Like dear old Dublin town Now a Dublin man is staunch and true He's hearty and he's hail He's a real true blue like me and you If you need him he won't fail For I love the craic and the porter black In those pubs of high renown There is not a place in the whole wide world Like dear old Dublin town For I love the craic and the porter black In those pubs of high renown There is not a place in the whole wide world Like dear old Dublin town Like dear old Dublin Towm
