in the merry month of may from my home i started
left the girls of tuam nearly broken hearted
saluted father dear kissed my darling mother
drank a pint of beer my grief and tears to smother
then off to reap the corn and leave where i was born
i cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghost and gobling
in a brand new pair of brogues i rattled over the bogs
and frightened all the dogson the rocky road to dubling
one two three four five hunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road and all the ways to dublin
whack fol lol de ra
in mullingar that night i rested limbs so weary
started by daylight next morning light and airy
took a drop of the pure to keep my heart from sinking
that's an irishman's cure whene'er he's on for drinking
to see the lasses smile laughing all the while
at my curious style twould set your heart a bubbling
they ax'd if i was hired the wages i required
till i was almost tired of the rocky road to dubling
one two three four fivehunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road and all the ways to dubling
whack fol lol de ra
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
my bundle it was stole in a neat locality
something crossed my mind then i looked behind
no bundle could i find upon my stick a wobbling
enquirin' for the rogue they said my connacht brogue
wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to dublin
one two three four fivehunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road and all the ways to dubling
whack fol lol de ra
from there i got away my spirits never failing
landed on the quay as the ship was sailing
captain at me roared said that no room had he
when i jumped aboard a cabin found for paddy
down among the pigs i played some funny rigs
danced some hearty jigs the water round me bubbling
when off holyhead i wished myself was dead
or better far instead on the rocky road to dubling
one two three four fivehunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road and all the ways to dublin
whack fol lol de ra
the boys of liverpool when we safely landed
called myself a fool i could no longer stand it
blood began to boil temper i was losing
poor ould erin's isle they began abusing
hurrah my soul sez i my shillelagh i let fly
some galway boys were by saw i was a hobble in
then with a loud hurray they joined in the affray
we quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to dubling
one two three four fivehunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road and all the ways to dublin
whack fol lol de ra
