1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Hunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin,
Wackville, Duralab
In the merry month of May
From me home I started
like the girls of tune
Nearly broken hearted,
saluted by the dear
Kiss me darling mother, drank a pint of beer
We grieved the tears to smother,
but to reap the corn
Leave where I was born,
cut to stout black thorn
To banish ghost and goblin,
brand new pair of probes
Crackle down the bogs,
frighten down the doves
On the rocky road to Dublin
One, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road
And all the way to Dub lin,
whack Valera loud
In Mullingar that night
I rested limbs so weary,
started by daylight
Next morning light and air
He took a drop of the puke
To keep me hard from sinking
That's a fisherman's cure
When air is on for drinking
To see the lassie smile
Laughin' all the while,
at me curious style
Would set your heart a -bolin'
Ask if I was hired, wages I required
Till I was almost tired of the rocky road
To Dublin, one, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin,
wack -a -doodle -la
In Dublin next arrived
It's such a pity to be so soon deprived
A view of that fine city, then I took a stroll
Put among the quality me bundle it bestow
In a neat locality,
something crossed me mind
Then I looked behind,
no bundle could I find
Upon me snick a wobble,
enquiring for the road
Same iconic road, wasn't much in bold
On the rocky road to Dublin,
one, two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn her
down the rocky road
And on the way to Dublin,
whack -a -doodle -da!
The boys of Liverpool,
who safely landed
Called me self a fool
I could no longer stand
it, blood began to boil
For I was losing for all errands I'd
They began abusing Haram, Miss Salsa,
Siamese, Shillelagh, Eilat, Gwent,
some Galway boys were by
So I was a -hobbling with the loud Haram,
they joined in the upbreak
We quickly cleared the way
for the rocky road to Dublin, one,
two, three, four, five
Hunt the hare and turn
her down the rocky road,
and all the way to Dublin,
Whack -a -doodle -da!
