In the merry month of June, from me home I started, Let the girls of Toon, dearly broken, Proudly saluted, Father dear.
Kiss me, darling mother, drank a pint of beer, Me grief and tears to smother, [C] then off the reed, the corn, There where I was born.
Cut the stove, blacked on, the banished ghosts, And gobbled in brand new [N] pair of brooks, Ripped in all the books, frightened all the dogs, On Rocky Road to Dublin, One, two, three, four, five, Under air and turner, down the Rocky Road, And all the way to [Dm] Dublin, what for all the road?
In [Am] Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so [F] weary, Blinded by the light, next [C] morning light, And [Dm] there I took the [Am] drop of the beer, Kept my heart from [F] sinking, that's an Irish cure, [C] Whenever he's on for [Dm] drinking.
Don't see [Am] the lassie smile, laughing all [F] the while, That my curious doubt [C] would set your eye, [Dm] The bubbling axe, if I was hired, [Am] wages I [A#] required, I was almost hired, [C] On Rocky Road [G] to Dublin, One, [Dm] two, three, four, five, Under [F] air and turner, down the Rocky Road, [C] And all the way [Dm] to Dublin, what for all the road?
In the plain [Am] next to River Thord, It's such a pity [F] to be so [C] soon deprived, A view of that fine [Dm] city, and then I [Am] took a stroll, All among the [F] quality bundle [C] it was told, In an eighth [Dm] locality, something [Am] crossed me mind, When I looked [F] behind, bundle [C] could I find, Upon me, stick a [Dm] wobbling, firing [Am] for the rug, Set me on a [A#] drug, wasn't [C] much involved, On Rocky Road to [Dm] Dublin, One, two, three, four, five, Under air [F] and turner, down [C] the Rocky Road, And all the way [Dm] to Dublin, what for all the road?
