CHORUS
C F C Am F
Ring a ring a rosy as the light declines
C F C G C
I'll remember Dublin City in the rare old times
C F C Am F
Raised on songs and stories heroes of renown
C F C G G7
the passing tales and glories that once was Dublin Town
C F C Am F
The hallowed halls and houses the haunting children's rhymes
C F C G7 C
that once was Dublin City in the rare old times
CHORUS
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 trades 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
CHORUS
The years have made me bitter the gargle dims my brain
Cause Dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the sane
The Pillar and the Met have gone the Royal long since pulled down
As the grey 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 to old to hear new chimes
I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare old times
