Lyrics
Whack fol lol-le-rah!
In the merry month of May, from me home I started
Left the girls of Glensade sad and broken-hearted
Saluted father dear, and kissed me darlin' mother
Then drank a pint of beer, me tears and grief to smother
Off to reap the corn, and leave where I was born
I cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins
And a pair of brand-new brogues, rattlin' o'er the bogs
I frightened all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
Another way to Dublin, whack fol lol-le-rah!
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
Then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Me bundle it was stole, and in a neat locality
Somethin' crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin'
"Enquirin' for the rogue," said me Connacht brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
Another way to Dublin, whack fol lol-le-rah!
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Me blood began to boil, me temper I was losin'
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusin'
"Hurrah me soul!" Says I, me shillelagh I let fly
Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a-hobblin'
With a loud "Hurray" they joined in the affray
We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
Another way to Dublin, whack fol lol-le-rah!
Alright, take it down
