RAISED ON SONGS AND STORIES
HEROES OF RENOWN
THE PASSING TALES
AND THE 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 OLD TIMES
RING-A-RING A-ROSIE
AS THE LIGHT DECLINES
I'LL REMEMBER DUBLIN CITY
IN THE RARE OLD TIMES
OH, ME 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
AND I COURTED PEGGY DIGNAN
AS PRETTY, AS YOU PLEASE
A ROGUE AND A 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-ROSIE
AS THE LIGHT DECLINES
I'LL REMEMBER DUBLIN CITY
IN THE RARE OLD TIMES
OH, 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-ROSIE
AS THE LIGHT DECLINES
I'LL REMEMBER DUBLIN CITY
IN THE RARE OLD 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 OLD TIMES
RING-A-RING A-ROSIE
AS THE LIGHT DECLINES
I'LL REMEMBER DUBLIN CITY
IN THE RARE OLD TIMES
RING-A-RING A-ROSIE
AS THE LIGHT DECLINES
I'LL REMEMBER DUBLIN CITY
IN THE RARE OLD TIMES
