Songtext

[Verse 1]
       Dm
In the merry month of June from me home I started
                       C
Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted
               Dm
Saluted Father dear,
kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer,
   C
me grief and tears to smother

[Chorus]
     Am
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' o'er the bogs
Frightenin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
        C          Dm
One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
Am
All the way to Dublin,
          C      Dm
Whack fol lol le rah!

[Verse 2]
   Dm
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
                       C
Started by daylight me spirits bright and airy
                   Dm
Took a drop of the pure
Keep me heart from sinking
                            C
That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on for drinking

[Chorus]
   Am
To see the lassies smile,
laughing all the while
At me curious style,
'twould set your heart a bubblin'
An' asked if I was hired,
wages I required
'Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin
        C          Dm
One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
    Am
And all the way to Dublin,
          C      Dm
Whack fol lol le rah!

[Verse 3]
   Dm
In Dublin next arrived,
I thought it such a pity
                      C
To be soon deprived a view of that fine city
                   Dm
Well then I took a stroll,
all among the quality
Bundle it was stole,
    C
all in a neat locality

[Chorus]
Am
Something crossed me mind,
when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
Enquiring for the rogue,
said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
                   C
One two three four five
Dm
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
    C
And all the way to Dublin,
                 Dm
Whack fol lol le rah!

[Verse 4]
     Dm
From there I got away,
me spirits never falling
Landed on the quay,
     C
just as the ship was sailing
                  Dm
The Captain at me roared,
said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard,
  C
a cabin found for Paddy

[Chorus]
Am
Down among the pigs,
played some funny rigs
Danced some hearty jigs,
the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead wished meself was dead
Or better far instead
On the rocky road to Dublin
        C          Dm
One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
    Am
And all the way to Dublin,
          C      G
Whack fol lol le rah!

[Verse 5]
G/D    Dm
   The boys of Liverpool,
when we safely landed
Called meself a fool,
  C
I could no longer stand it
               Dm
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
                     C
Poor old Erin's isle they began abusing

[Chorus]
    Am
"Hurrah me soul!" says I,
me shillelagh I let fly
Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in
With a loud "Hurray!" joined in the affray
We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
        C          Dm
One two three four five
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
Am
All the way to Dublin,
          C      Dm
Whack fol lol le rah!

[Outro]
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin,
Whack fol lol le rah!
Whack fol lol le rah!
