Mary, mother me, a-fuddlin' my home and [E] garden, left the girls a-droomin', nearly broken,
Had a salute to father [Em] dear, check me, darling mother, drank a pint of [D] beer,
Gave the tears [Em] to mother and after ate the corn, before I was born,
Cut the [D] chaff, the churned the bandage, tossed [Em] the guns up and the ferret broke,
Cut the lower the board, fightin' [D] all the dogs on the rocky road,
To Dublin one, two, three, four, [Em] five, cut the hair and turn her down the rocky [A] road,
All the way to Dublin, whack [Em] for a leon!
[E]
[A] [E] Father, mother and gardener, they just kept a-livin' so every time to fight [A] and lay,
Hard to fight, nearly drunk, recovered [E] and pure, cut me arm, the guns all at once [D] pure,
Every time [Em] for a ticket to see the best they must, and [D] for all the wealth,
Feed [Bm] and sell, food and fire, [Em] a-fuddlin' the choir, and [D] bought me a cake,
I said, I requite, I'm clearly tired of the rock,
Hero to [E] Dublin one, two, three, four, five, cut the hair and turn her down the rocky [D] road,
All the way to Dublin, whack for [E] a leon!
[Em]
[E] In Dublin next to Rye, the practice and shepherdy, to be so [D] soon to fight,
You will bet my [A] city decided to take [E] a stroll, all the hall, the quality, fun, the lit, [A] the gold,
In that day, no gallanty, so we brought to [Em] mind, and I looked behind upon the [Bm] good equine,
On the day [Em] for wobbly choir, and [D] then the road, said me gonna cross,
But so much in bulk on the rocky road, to Dublin one, [E] two, three, four, five, cut the hair and turn her down the rocky [D] road,
All the way to Dublin, whack [Em] for a leon!
[E] [D] [E] Low and some on me way, we're so full of fail, the [A] London and the bay,
And the ship was sailing, the captain got [E] me wrong,
Checked my room, I'd see, and then I jumped [D] aboard,
Room was so full of party, and down the muck [Em] so big,
That somebody dig away, and [Bm] somebody reach,
Once around the spot, and knocked [D] on the [Em] ear,
We said, I requite, I bought my dear [D] old,
I said, I'm the rocky road, to [E] Dublin one, two, three, four, five, cut the hair and turn her down the rocky [D] road,
All the way to Dublin, whack [Em] for a leon!
[E] [A]
[E]
[D] [B]
[D] [Am] One, two, [Em] three, four, five, [A] whack for [Em] a leon!
[E] I was a Liverpool, when we sailed to London,
[A] When the London blood began to [E] boil,
And for I was losing my all air,
But, [D] hey, that [Em] means it's for all, for [A] all tonight,
We said, I requite, I bought my [Bm] dear old,
I [Em] said, I'm [D] the rocky [Bm] road, to Dublin [E] one, two, three, four, five, cut the hair and turn her down the rocky [D] road,
All the way to Dublin, whack for a [E] leon!
