lirik lagu the rare old times – irish folk players

raised on songs and stories,
heroes of renown
the p-ssing tales and glories
that once was dublin town
the hallowed halls and houses,
the haunting childrens rhymes
that once was dublin city
in the rare old times
ring a ring a rosey
as the light declines
i remember dublin city
in the rare old times
my name it is sean dempsey
as dublin as could 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 rouge 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
ring a ring a rosey
as the light declines
i remember dublin city
in the rare old times
the years have made me bitter
the gargles dim 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
fare thee well sweet anna liffey
i can no longer stay
and watch the new gl-ss cages
the 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 old times
ring a ring a rosey
as the light declines
i remember dublin city
in the rare old times
ring a ring a rosey
as the light declines
i remember dublin city
in the rare old times
