| The Dubliners - Dublin In The Rare Old Times Lyrics: | ||
Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown. Are the passing tales and glories, that once was Dublin town. The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes. That once was Dublin city in the rare old times. Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare old times My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as can be Born hard and late in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be. By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy. Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory. And I courted Peggy Dignan, as pretty as you please, A rogue and child of Mary, from the rebel Liberties. I lost her to a student chap, with skin as black as coal. When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul. http://www.free-lyrics.org Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare old times The years have made me bitter, tha gargle dims my brain, 'cause Dublin keeps on changing, and nothing seems the same. The Pillar and the Met have gone, the Royale long since pulled down, As the great unyielding concrete, makes a city of my town. Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare old times Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey, I can no longer stay, And watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the Quay. My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes, I'm part of what was Dublin, in the rare old times. Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines, I remember Dublin city in the rare old times View more The Dubliners Song Lyrics: The Dubliners - The Monto Lyrics The Dubliners - McAlpines Fusiliers Lyrics The Dubliners - Molly Malone Lyrics The Dubliners - Auld (Old) Triangle Lyrics The Dubliners - Protect And Survive Lyrics The Dubliners - Spancil Hill Lyrics The Dubliners - James Larkin Lyrics The Dubliners - Springhill Disaster Lyrics The Dubliners - Take It Down from the Mast Lyrics The Dubliners - South Australia Lyrics |
