[Intro]
Dm C
[Verse 1]
Dm While In the Dmmerry month of may from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam Cnearly broken hearted
Saluted father Dmdear, kissed my darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, my Cgrief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the Dmcorn, leave where I was born
Cut a stout black thorn to Cbanish ghosts and goblins;
Bought a pair of Dmbrogues for rattling o'er the bogs
And fright'ning all the dogs Con the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
COne, two, three four, Dmfive
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
CAll the way to Dublin, Whack follol de Dmrah!
[Verse 2]
In DmMullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight next Cmorning blithe and early
Took a drop of the Dmpure to keep me heart from sinking;
Thats a Paddy's cure wheCnever he's on drinking
They hear the lassies Dmsmile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould Cset your heart a bubblin'
Asked me was I Dmhired, wages I required
'till I was almost tired Cof the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
COne, two, three four, Dmfive
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
CAll the way to Dublin, Whack follol de Dmrah!
[Verse 3]
In DmDublin next arrived, I thought it's such a pity
To be soon deprived a Cview of that fine city
Then I took a Dmstroll, all among the quality;
Me bundle it was stole, all Cin a neat locality
Something crossed me Dmmind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find uCpon me stick a wobblin'
Enquiring for the Dmrogue, said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue Con the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
COne, two, three four, Dmfive
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
CAll the way to Dublin, Whack follol de Dmrah!
[Verse 4]
From Dmthere I got away, me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay, just Cas the ship was sailing
The Captain at me Dmroared, said that no room had he;
When I jumped aboard, a Ccabin found for Paddy
Down among the Dmpigs, played some hearty rigs
Danced some hearty jigs, the Cwater round me bubbling;
When off HolyDmhead I wished meself was dead
Or better far instead Con the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
COne, two, three four, Dmfive
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
CAll the way to Dublin, Whack follol de Dmrah!
[Verse 5]
The Dmboys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I Ccould no longer stand it
Blood began to Dmboil, temper I was losing;
Poor old Erin's Isle Cthey began abusing
"Hurrah me soul" says DmI, me Shillelagh Iâll apply
Galway boys were nigh and Csaw I was a hobble in
With a load "hurDmray!" joined in the affray
We quickly cleared the way Cfor the rocky road to Dublin
[Chorus]
COne, two, three four, Dmfive
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
CAll the way to Dublin, Whack follol de Dmrah!
