Clandestine - Tornado Song Lyrics
Merry month of June,And from my home I started,Left the girls of Tuam,Nearly broken hearted;Saluted father dear,Kissed my darlin' mother,drank a pint of beer,my grief and tears to smother.Off to reap the corn,leave where I was born,Cut a stout blackthornto banish ghosts and goblins;In a brand new pair of brogues,I rattled o'er the bogs,Frightened all the dogson the rocky road to Dublin.Chorus: One two three four five, hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road all the way to Dublin, One two three four five!In Mulingar that night,I rested limbs so weary,Started by daylight,Next morning, light and airy;Took a drop of the pure,to keep my heart from sinking,That's a Paddy's cure,Whenever he's for drinking.See the lassies smile,Laughing all the while,At my daring style,'Twould set your heart a-bubblin';They asked if I was hired,Wages I required,'Til I was almost tiredof the rocky road to Dublin.Chorus:In Dublin next arrived,and thought it such a pityto be so soon deprived,a view of that fine city;When I took a stroll,all among the quality,My bundle it was stole,in that neat locality.Something crossed my mind,Then I looked behind,no bundle I could find,upon my stick a-wobblin';Enquiring for the rogue,They said my Connaught broguewasn't much in vogue,on the rocky road to Dublin.Chorus:Then the following day,Spirits never failing,I landed on the quay,Just as a ship was sailing;Captain at me roared,Said that no room had he,When I jumped aboard,
