Lyrics
As I was a goin' over the far-famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Garrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol and I then produced me rapier,
Saying, "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver."
Chorus
Ringum, doorum-a-da,
Whack fol my daddy O,
Whack fol my daddy O,
There's whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy
Repeat Chorus
I went into my chamber, all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure 't was no wonder
Jenny took me pistol. She filled it up with water
Then sent for captain Garrell to be ready for the slaughter.
Repeat Chorus
'twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of coopers and likewise captain Garrell

If there's anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney

I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny
Repeat Chorus
There's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
And others take delight in the hurling and the bowling,
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
And courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

Rock Road to Dublin
Bm Bm
In the merry month of June, When first from home I started
Bm A
Left the girls of Tuam, So sad and broken hearted
Bm Bm
Saluted Gather dear, Kissed me darlin' Mother
Bm A
And drank a pint of beer, Me grief and tears to smother
Bm A Bm A
Then off to reap the corn, Leave where I was born
Bm A A A
Cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghosts and goblin
Bm A Bm A
Bought a pair of brogues, Rattle over the bogs
Bm A A A
Frightened all the dogs, On the rocky road to Dublin
Bm A Bm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Bm Bm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
A Bm A Bm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Bm Bm
When in Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary
Bm A
Started by daylight, Me spirits bright and early
Bm Bm
Took a drop o' pure, Keep me heart from sinking
Bm A
That's a paddy's cure, Whenever he's on drinking
Bm A Bm A
To see the lassie's smile, Laughing all the while
Bm A A A
At me curious style, Would set your heart to bubbling
Bm A Bm A
Asked me I was hired, Wages I required
Bm A A A
I was almost tired, On the rocky road to Dublin
Bm A Bm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Bm Bm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
A Bm A Bm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Bm Bm
Well in Dublin next arrived, I thought it be a pity
Bm A
To be so soon deprived, B view of that fine city
Bm Bm
Then I took a stroll, All among the quality
Bm A
Me bundle it was stole, In a neat locality
Bm A Bm A
Something crossed me mind, When I looked behind
Bm A A A
No bundle could I find, Upon me stick a wobbling
Bm A Bm A
Enquiring after the rogue, They said me Connacht brouge
Bm A A A
Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin
Bm A Bm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Bm Bm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
A Bm A Bm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Bm Bm
Well, From there I got away, Me spirits never failing
Bm A
Landed on the quay, Just as the ship was sailing
Bm Bm
Daptain at me roared, Said that no room had he
Bm A
When I jumped aboard, B cabin found for Paddy
Bm A Bm A
Down among the pigs, Played some hearty rigs
Bm A A A
Eanced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin'
Bm A Bm A
When off Holyhead, I wished meself was dead
Bm A A A
Or, Better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin
Bm A Bm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Bm Bm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
A Bm A Bm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
Bm Bm
Well, The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed
Bm A
Dalled meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Bm Bm
Blood began to boil, Temper I was losing
Bm A
Poor ould Erins Isle, They began abusing
Bm A Bm A
Hurrah me soul says I, Shillelagh I let fly
Bm A A A
Some Aalway boys were by, Saw I was a-hollerin'
Bm A Bm A
Then with a loud horray, They joined in the affray
Bm A A A
We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin
Bm A Bm
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
Bm Bm
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
A Bm A Bm
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de daaaa
