lirik lagu the rare auld times – the dubliners
raised on songs & stories, heroes of renown
the p-ssing tales & glories that once was dublin town
the hallowed halls & houses, the haunting childrens’ rhymes
that once was dublin city in the rare ould times
[chorus:]
ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines
i remember dublin city in the rare ould times
my name it is sean dempsey, as dublin as can be
born hard & 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 dignan, as pretty as you please
a rogue & a child of mary, from the rebel liberties
i lost her to a student chap with a skin as black as coal
when he took her off to birmingham, she took away my soul
[chorus]
the years have made me bitter, the gargle dims me brain
’cause dublin keeps on changing & nothing seems the same
the pillar & the met have gone, the royal long since pulled down
as the great unyielding concrete makes a city of my town
[chorus]
fare thee well sweet anna liffey, i can no longer stay
& watch the new gl-ss 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 ould times
[chorus]
