Текст песни Misc Unsigned Bands - St Gregorys Academy - Dublin In The Rare Old Times

Capo 1

1st Verse: Raised on songs and stories
           Heroes of renown
           The passing tales and glories
           That once was Dublin town
           The hallowed halls and houses
           The haunting children's rhymes
           That once was part Dublin 
           In the rare old times.

  Refrain: Ring a ring a rosie
           As the light declines
           I remember Dublin City
           In the rare old times.

2nd Verse: My name it is Sean Dempsey
           As Dublin as could be
           Born hard and late in Pimlico
           In a house that's ceased to be
           By trade I was a cooper
           Lost out to redundancy
           Like my house that fell to progress
           My trade's a memory.

  Refrain

3rd Verse: I courted Peggy Diagnam
           As pretty as you please
           A gentle child of Mary
           From the rebel liberties
           I lost her to a student chap
           With skin as black as coal
           When he took her off to Birmingham
           She took away my soul.

  Refrain

4th Verse: The years have made me bitter
           The gargles dims my brain
           'Cause Dublin keeps on changing
           And nothing seems the same
           The Pillar and the Met are gone
           The Royal long pulled down
           As the grey unyielding concrete
           Makes a city of my town.

  Refrain

5th Verse: Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey
           I can no longer stay
           And watch the new glass cages
           Spring up along the quay
           My mind's too full of memories
           Too old to hear new chimes
           I'm a part of what was Dublin
           In the rare old times.

  Refrain
