E5
In the merry month of June from my 
home I started left the girls
E5      D5                     
of Taum nearly brokenhearted saluted
E5
 me father dear, kissed
E5                                
me darling mother drank a pint of 
         D5
beer, my grief and tears to
             E5     D5       E5  
smother then off to reap the 
              D5    E5
corn, leave where I was born cut
  D5          E5      D5         
a stout blackthorn to banish 
               E5
ghosts and goblin, brand-new
D5      E5                D5     
pair of brogues, rattling o'er 
  E5               D5      E5
the bogs frightening all the dogs
D5                          E5
on the rocky road to Dublin 1, 2, 3,
 4, 5
In Mullingar last night, I rested 
limbs so weary started by
daylight next morning bright and 
early took a drop of the pure
to keep me heart from sinking that's
 the daddy's cure when
he's on the drinking see the lassies
 smile, laughing all the
while at me darling style, would set
 your heart a-bubblin'
asked me was I hired, wages I 
required 'til I was almost tired
of the rocky road to Dublin 1, 2, 3,
 4, 5

[Chorus]
E5                                
Hunt the hare and turn her down 
                 D5
the rocky road and all the

way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!

[Verse]
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it
 such a pity to be so soon
deprived a view of that fine city 
decided to take a stroll all
among the quality bundle, it was 
stole in that neat locality
something crossed my mind when I 
looked behind no bundle
could I find upon me stick 
a-wobblin' crying for a rogue said
me connaught brogue wasn't much 
in-vogue on the rocky road
to Dublin 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

[Chorus]
E5                                
Hunt the hare and turn her down 
                 D5
the rocky road and all the
               B5        A5    E5
way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!

[Verse]
From there I got away, me spirits 
never failing landed on the
quay just as the ship was sailing 
captain at me roared, said
that no room had he then I jumped 
aboard a cabin found for
Daddy down among the pigs, played 
some funny rigs, danced
some hearty jigs, the water 'round 
me bubblin' off to hollyhead
wished myself was dead or better far
 instead on the rocky
road to Dublin 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

[Chorus]
E5                                
Hunt the hare and turn her down 
                 D5
the rocky road and all the
               B5        A5    E5
way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!

[Verse]
The boys in Liverpool, when we 
safely landed called myself a
fool, I could no longer stand it 
blood began to boil, temper
I was losing poor old Erin's Isle 
they began abusing hooray
me soul, says I, let the 
shellaillagh fly some galway boys
were nigh, saw I was a-hobblin' with
 a loud array, they joined
me in the fray and soon we cleared 
the way on the rocky road
to Dublin 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

[Chorus]
E5                                
Hunt the hare and turn her down 
                 D5
the rocky road and all the
               B5        A5    E5
way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-da!
