歌詞

Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown Ah, the passing tales and glories that once was Dublin town The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes That once was part of Dublin in the rare ould times Ring a ring a rosey As the light declines I remember Dublin city In the rare ould times Well, 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 I courted Peggy Dignam, as pretty as you please A rogue and child of Mary, from the rebel Libertines I lost her to a student chap with skin as black as coal When he took her off to Birmingham, well, she took away my soul Ring a ring a rosey As the light declines I remember Dublin city In the rare ould times Well, the years have made me bitter, the gargle dims me brain 'Cause Dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the same The Pillar and the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down As the grey unyielding concrete makes a city of my town Ring a ring a rosey As the light declines I remember Dublin city In the rare ould 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 a part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times Ring a ring a rosey As the light declines I remember Dublin city In the rare ould times Ring a ring a rosey As the light declines I remember Dublin city In the rare ould times
