Hup, the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, whack fol lol le rah!
In the merry month of June, from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam, nearly broke in heart
I saluted father dear, kissed me dad and 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 blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins
A brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' all the bugs
Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hup, the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack fol lol le rah!
In Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight, me spirits bright and airy
Took a drop of the pure, keep me heart from sinking
That's the Paddy's cure, whenever he's on for drinking
To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious styles, would set your heart a-bubbling
Asked if I was hired, wages I required
'Til I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hup, the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the 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
But then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find, upon me stick a-wobblin'
Enquiring for the rogue, said me Connacht brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hup, the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack fol lol le rah!
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, played some funny rigs
Danced some hearty jigs, the water 'round me bubbling
When off Holyhead, wished meself was dead
Better far instead of on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hup, the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack fol lol le rah!
The boys of Liverpool, when me safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
For old Erin's Isle, they began abusing
"Rah me souls, is that me Shillelagh I left lying?"
All me boys were nigh, and so I was a-hobblin'
Went to Labh Ra Raigh, joined in the affray
Me quickly cleared away for the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hup, the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack fol lol le rah!
Hup, the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack fol lol le rah!
