Rare Auld Times - The High Kings[00:00:00]
Raised on songs and stories [00:00:55]
Heroes of renown[00:00:59]
The passing tales and[00:01:02]
Glories that once was Dublin Town[00:01:05]
The hallowed halls and houses [00:01:11]
The haunting childrens' rhymes[00:01:16]
That once was part Dublin[00:01:19]
In the rare auld times[00:01:23]
Ring a ring a rosey [00:01:29]
As the light declines[00:01:33]
I remember Dublin City[00:01:36]
In the rare auld times[00:01:40]
My name it is Sean Dempsey [00:01:47]
As Dublin as can be[00:01:51]
Born hard and late in Pimlico [00:01:55]
In a house that ceased to be[00:01:59]
By trade I was a cooper [00:02:04]
Lost out to redundancy[00:02:08]
Like my house that fell to progress [00:02:11]
My trade's a memory[00:02:17]
And I courted Peggy Dignam [00:02:20]
As pretty as you please[00:02:25]
A rogue and a child of Mary [00:02:29]
From the rebel Liberties[00:02:33]
I lost her to a student chap [00:02:38]
With skin as black as coal[00:02:41]
When he took her off to Birmingham [00:02:45]
She took away my soul[00:02:50]
Ring a ring a rosey [00:02:55]
As the light declines[00:02:59]
I remember Dublin City[00:03:02]
In the rare auld times[00:03:06]
The years have made me bitter [00:03:18]
The gargle dims me brain[00:03:22]
For Dublin keeps on changing [00:03:25]
And nothing seems the same[00:03:29]
The Pillar and the Met have gone [00:03:34]
The Royal long since pulled down[00:03:37]
As the grey unyielding concrete [00:03:41]
Makes a city of my town[00:03:46]
Ring a ring a rosey [00:03:51]
As the light declines[00:03:54]
I remember Dublin City[00:03:58]
In the rare auld times[00:04:02]
So fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey [00:04:22]
I can no longer stay[00:04:28]
And watch the new glass cages [00:04:32]
Spring up along the quay[00:04:36]
My mind's too full of memories [00:04:40]
Too old to hear new chimes[00:04:44]
And once was part of Dublin [00:04:48]
In the rare auld times[00:04:52]
Ring a ring a rosey [00:04:57]
As the light declines[00:05:01]
I remember Dublin City[00:05:04]
In the rare auld times[00:05:09]
Ring a ring a rosey [00:05:14]
As the light declines[00:05:18]
I remember Dublin City[00:05:21]
In the rare auld times[00:05:25]
