Irish Music - The Rare Old Times Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 old times
  • [Chorus:]
  • Ring a ring a rosie
  • As the light declines
  • I remember Dublin City
  • In the rare old times
  • My name it is Sean Dempsey
  • As Dublin as could be
  • Born hard and late in Pimlico
  • In a house that's 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
  • I courted Peggy Diagnam
  • As pretty as you please
  • A gentle 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
  • [Chorus:]
  • The years have made me bitter
  • The gargles dims me brain
  • 'Cause Dublin keeps on changing
  • And nothing stays the same
  • The Pillar and the Met have gone
  • The Royal long since pulled down
  • As the great and unyielding concrete
  • Makes a city of my town
  • [Chorus:]
  • Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey
  • I can no longer stay
  • And watch the new glass cages
  • That spring up along the quay
  • My mind's too full of memories
  • Too old to hear new chimes
  • I'm a part of what was Dublim
  • In the rare old times
  • [Chorus: X2]
