Dublin In The Rare Oul Times - Shannon Singers[00:00:01]
Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown.[00:00:12]
Are the passing tales and glories, that once was Dublin town.[00:00:21]
The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes.[00:00:31]
That once was Dublin city in the rare old times.[00:00:39]
Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines,[00:00:49]
I remember Dublin city in the rare old times[00:00:57]
My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as can be[00:01:09]
Born hard and late in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be.[00:01:18]
By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy.[00:01:28]
Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory.[00:01:36]
Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines,[00:01:47]
I remember Dublin city in the rare old times[00:01:54]
The years have made me bitter, tha gargle dims my brain,[00:02:06]
Cause Dublin keeps on changing, and nothing seems the same.[00:02:15]
The Pillar and the Met have gone,[00:02:25]
The Royale long since pulled down,[00:02:29]
As the great unyielding concrete, makes a city of my town.[00:02:33]
Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines,[00:02:44]
I remember Dublin city in the rare old times[00:02:51]
Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey,[00:03:03]
I can no longer stay,[00:03:08]
And watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the Quay.[00:03:12]
My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes,[00:03:22]
I'm part of what was Dublin, in the rare old times.[00:03:30]
Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines,[00:03:41]
I remember Dublin city in the rare old times[00:03:49]
I remember Dublin city in the rare old times[00:03:58]
