Lyrics
In the merry month of May I from me home I started,
left the (Bm)girls of (Em)Tuam, (D)severely brokenhearted,
(Em)salluted fa o' ther dear, all to kissed me darlin' mother drank a pint of beer,
me a (D)grief and tears to smother then (Em)off to reap the (Bm)corn,
leave where I was born, no (Em)cut a stout (B)blackthorn to (D)banish ghost and goblin a (Bm)bran' new pair o' brogues,
what rattled o'er the bogs, till (Em)frightened all the (B)dogs (D)on the rocky road to Dubelin.
(Em)One, two, (Bm)three, four, (Em)five, hunt the hare and turn her on the (Bm)rocky (Em)road and (D)all the way to Dubelin.
(Em)Whack (Bm)folol (Em)dela.
(Em)In Mulligan that night I I rested limbs so weary,
started (Bm)by (Em)daylight next (D)morning bright and eared,
ly. (Em)Took a drop o' the pure all a keep my heart from sinking,
that's a Paddy's cure when a (D)e'er he's on for drinking to (Em)see the lassie's (Bm)smile,
laughing all the while, no (Em)at my daring (B)style 'twould (D)set your heart a bubblin'.
They (Bm)asked if I was hired,
they wages I required, till (Em)I was almost (B)tired (D)of the rocky road to Dubelin.
(Em)One, two, (Bm)three, four, (Em)five, hunt the hare and turn her on the (Bm)rocky (Em)road and (D)all the way to Dubelin.
(Em)Whack (Bm)folol (Em)dela.
la.
