Rocky Road (from Dublin)
(words/music: Bernie Torme/John McCoy/MCPS/CeedeeMusicLtd))
Born and raised by Liffeyside,
But never settled down,
Took me axe upon me back,
And wandered town to town,
With a liking for the women,
The gargle and the crack,
On the Rocky Road from Dublin
Set me sails for foreign shores
The fortune and the fame
Headaches and strong alcohol
The powders and the dames
Picked up all the lingo
Pure cockney and forked tongue
On the Rocky Road from Dublin
Hey, enough of your shite
Buy me another pint
Hey, i'm dyin' of thirst tonight
Hey, what'd you say
You haven't got a clue,
On the Rocky Road from Dublin
Could've been diggin' ditches
Or carryin' the hod
Down tunnels or on bridges
Far from the eye of God
Me I'm sitting pretty
Playing my guitar
On the Rocky Road from Dublin
Oh mother dear I'm over here
And I'm not coming back
What keeps me here is the price of beer
The women and the crack
To tell the truth oul' england
Damn near has me whacked
On the Rocky Road from Dublin
Hey, enough of your shite
Buy me another pint
Hey, i'm dyin' of thirst tonight
Hey, what'd you say
You haven't got a clue,
On the Rocky Road from Dublin
Rollin' down the glen
At half a million miles an hour
Just about to hit the ground
No wheels on the car
I hope God loves the Irish
Or there's no way i'll be moved,
From the Rocky Road from Dublin
Hey, enough of your shite
Buy me another pint
Hey, i'm gaggin' of thirst tonight
Hey, what'd you say
You haven't got a clue,
On the Rocky Road from Dublin
