Dublin In The Rare Auld Times - Eddie Furey[00:00:00]
Raised on songs and stories[00:00:10]
Heroes of renown[00:00:14]
The passing tales and glories[00:00:17]
That once was Dublin Town[00:00:22]
The hallowed halls and houses[00:00:26]
The haunting childrens rhymes[00:00:31]
That once was parts of Dublin[00:00:34]
In the rare old times[00:00:38]
Ring a ring a rosey[00:00:44]
As the light declines[00:00:48]
I remember Dublin City[00:00:51]
In the rare old times[00:00:55]
Oh my name it is Sean Dempsey[00:01:01]
As Dublin as can be[00:01:06]
Born hard and late in Pimlico[00:01:10]
In a house that ceased to be[00:01:14]
By trade I was a cooper[00:01:18]
Lost out to redundancy[00:01:22]
Like my house that fell to progress[00:01:26]
My trade's a memory[00:01:31]
And I courted Peggy Dignam[00:01:36]
As pretty as you please[00:01:41]
A rogue and child of Mary[00:01:45]
From the rebel Liberties[00:01:49]
I lost her to a student chap[00:01:53]
With skin as black as coal[00:01:58]
As he took her off to Birmingham[00:02:02]
She took away my soul[00:02:06]
Ring a ring a rosey[00:02:11]
As the light declines[00:02:15]
I remember Dublin City[00:02:19]
In the rare old times[00:02:23]
The years have made me bitter[00:02:30]
The gargle dims me brain[00:02:35]
Cause Dublin keeps on changing[00:02:38]
And nothing seems the same[00:02:43]
The Pillar and the Met have gone[00:02:47]
The Royal long since pulled down[00:02:51]
As the great unyielding concrete[00:02:56]
Makes a city of my town[00:02:59]
Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey[00:03:05]
I can no longer stay[00:03:10]
And watch the new glass cages[00:03:14]
That spring up along the Quay[00:03:18]
My mind's too full of memories[00:03:22]
Too old to hear new chimes[00:03:27]
I'm part of what was Dublin[00:03:31]
In the rare old times[00:03:35]
Ring a ring a rosey[00:03:40]
As the light declines[00:03:44]
I remember Dublin City[00:03:48]
In the rare old times[00:03:52]
