Clandestine - Tornado Song lyrics
Your rating:
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 blackthorn To banish ghosts and goblins; In a brand new pair of brogues, I rattled o'er the bogs, Frightened all the dogs On 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 tired Of the rocky road to Dublin. Chorus: In Dublin next arrived, And thought it such a pity To 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 brogue Wasn'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,
