Lyrics Dublin in the Rare Auld Times

Raised on songs and stories
Heroes of renown
The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin Town
The hallowed halls and houses
The haunting children's rhymes
That once was Dublin City in the rare ould times
Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines
I remember Dublin City in the rare ould times
My name it is Sean Dempsey
As Dublin as can be
Born hard and late in Pimlico in a house that ceased to be
By trade I was a cooper
Lost out to redundancy
Like my house that fell to progress
My trade's a memory
And I courted Peggy Dignan
As pretty as you please
A rogue and child of Mary
From the rebel Liberties
I lost her to a student chap with skin as black as coal
When he took her off to Birmingham
She took away my soul
Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines
I remember Dublin City in the rare ould times
The years have made me bitter
The gargle's dimmed me brain
'Cos Dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the same
The Pillar and the Met. have gone
The Royal long since pulled down
As the grey unyielding concrete makes a city of our town
Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey
I can no longer stay
And watch the new glass cages spring up along the Quay
Me mind's too full of memories too old to hear new chimes
I'm a part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times
Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines
I remember Dublin City in the rare ould times
Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines
I remember Dublin City in the rare ould times
