The Rare Old Times - Irish Folk Players[00:00:00]
Raised on songs and stories heroes of renown[00:00:09]
The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin town[00:00:18]
The hallowed halls and houses the haunting childrens rhymes[00:00:26]
That once was part of Dublin in the rare ould times[00:00:35]
Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines[00:00:45]
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:00:52]
My name it is sean dempsey as Dublin as can be[00:01:04]
Born hard and late in pimlico in a house that ceased to be[00:01:12]
By trade I was a cooper lost out to redundancy[00:01:21]
Like my house that fell to progress my trade's a memory[00:01:29]
And I courted peggy dignam as pretty as you please[00:01:38]
A rogue and child of mary from the rebel liberties[00:01:47]
I lost her to a student chap with skin as black as coal[00:01:55]
When he took her off to birmingham well she took away my soul[00:02:04]
Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines[00:02:13]
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:02:21]
The years have made me bitter the gargle dims me brain[00:02:33]
Cause Dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the same[00:02:41]
The pillar and the met have gone the royal long since pulled down[00:02:49]
As the grey unyielding concrete makes a city of my town[00:02:58]
Fare thee well sweet anna liffey I can no longer stay[00:03:06]
And watch the new glass cages that spring up along the quay[00:03:15]
My mind's too full of memories too old to hear new chimes[00:03:24]
I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times[00:03:32]
Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines[00:03:42]
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:03:49]
Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines[00:03:59]
I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:04:06]
