O' 'twas in the merry month of June, now from my home I started
Left the girls from home, so broken-hearted
Saluted my father dear, kissed my darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, my grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
Cut a stout blackthorn, to banish ghosts and goblins
Brand new pair of brogues, rattling o'er the bogs
Frightening all the dogs, on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack fa luddle de da
O' in Mullingar, that night, I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight, next morning bright and airy
Took a drop of the pure, to keep my heart from sinking
That's the Paddy's cure, whene'er we're on the drinking
Hear the lasses smile, laughing all the while
At my curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubbling
Asked me was I hired, wages I required
Almost I was tired, on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack fa luddle de da
O' in Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be soon deprived, a view of that fine city
Then I took a stroll, all among the quality
Bundle it was stole, and in a neat locality
Something crossed my mind, when I looked behind
No bundle I could find, upon my stick a-wobbling
Inquiring after the rogue, said my Connaught brogue
Was not much in vogue, on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack fa luddle de da
O' from there I got away, my spirits never failing
Landed on the quay, just 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 amongst the pigs, played some hearty rigs
Danced some hearty jigs, the water 'round me bubbling
Off to Holyhead, wished myself was dead
Or better off instead, on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack fa luddle de da
O' the boys in Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called myself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin's Isle, they began abusing
"Hurrah! My soul," said I, shillelagh I let fly
Galway boys were by, and saw I was a-hobbling
And with a loud "Hurray!", joined me in the fray
Quickly cleared the way, for the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack fa luddle de da
Left the girls from home, so broken-hearted
Saluted my father dear, kissed my darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, my grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
Cut a stout blackthorn, to banish ghosts and goblins
Brand new pair of brogues, rattling o'er the bogs
Frightening all the dogs, on the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin, whack fa luddle de da
