Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup

Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up

And then she's in for another little drop
C G7 C
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
{Verse 1}
C G C
Oh she walks along Fitzgibbon street with an independent air
G C
And then it's down be Summerhill and as the people stare
C G
She says it's nearly half past one, and it's time I had another little one
C G7 C
Ah the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
{Chorus}

For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
{Verse 2}
C G C
Long years ago when men were men and fancied May Oblong
G C
Or lovely Beckie Cooper or Maggie's Mary Wong
C G
One woman put them all to shame, just one was worthy of the name
C G7 C
And the name of the dame was Dicey Reilly
{Chorus}
C G C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
G C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
C
For it's off each morning to the pub
G
And then she's in for another little drop
C G7 C
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
{Verse 3}
C G C
Oh but time went catching up on her like many pretty whores
G C
And it's after you along the street before you're out the door
C G
The looks all fade and the balance weighed, but out of all that great brigade
C G7 C
Still the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
{Chorus}
C G C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
G C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
C
For it's off each morning to the pub
G
And then she's in for another little drop
C G7 C
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
C G C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
G C
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
C
For it's off each morning to the pub
G
And then she's in for another little drop
C G7 C
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
