Rare Ould Times - Jim McCann[00:00:00]

Written by：St. John[00:00:01]

Raised on songs and stories heroes of renown[00:00:09]

The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin town[00:00:17]

The hallowed halls and houses the haunting children's rhymes[00:00:26]

That once was Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:00:35]

Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines[00:00:44]

I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:00:52]

My name it is Sean Dempsey as Dublin as could be[00:01:03]

Born hard and late in Pimlico[00:01:12]

In a house that ceased to be[00:01:16]

By trade I was a cooper lost out to redundancy[00:01:20]

Like my house that fell to progress my trade's a memory[00:01:29]

My courted Peggy Dignam as pretty as you please[00:01:38]

A rogue and a child of Mary from the rebel liberties[00:01:46]

I lost her to a student chap with skin[00:01:55]

As black as coal[00:02:00]

When he took her off to Birmingham she took away my soul[00:02:03]

Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines[00:02:13]

I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:02:20]

The years have made me bitter the gargle dims me brain[00:02:32]

'Cause Dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the same[00:02:40]

The pillar and the met have gone[00:02:49]

The royal long since pulled down[00:02:53]

As the grey unyielding concrete makes a city of my town[00:02:57]

Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey I can no longer stay[00:03:06]

And watch the new glass cages spring up along the quay[00:03:15]

My mind's too full of memories too old to hear new chimes[00:03:23]

I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times[00:03:32]

Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines[00:03:41]

I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:03:49]

Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines[00:03:58]

I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times[00:04:06]
