《The Rare Old Times》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rare Auld Times - The Dubliners

[00:00:03] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:00:11] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:00:24] Raised on songs and stories heroes of re-known

[00:00:32] The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin town

[00:00:42] The hallowed halls and houses the haunting childrens' rhymes

[00:00:51] That once was Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:01:01] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:01:09] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:01:21] My name it is Sean Demspey as Dublin as can be

[00:01:30] Born hard and late in Pimlico in a house that ceased to be

[00:01:40] By trade I was a cooper lost out to redundancy

[00:01:49] Like my house that fell to progress my trade's a memory

[00:02:01] And I callled Peggy Dignan as pretty as you please

[00:02:10] A rogue and a child of Mary from the rebel liberties

[00:02:20] I lost her to a student chap with a skin as black as coal

[00:02:29] When he took her off to Birmingham she took away my soul

[00:02:39] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:02:47] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:03:09] The years have made me bitter the gargle dims me brain

[00:03:19] 'Cause Dublin keeps on changing and nothing stays the same

[00:03:28] The Pillar and the Met have gone the Royal long since pulled down

[00:03:37] As the great unyielding concrete makes a city of my town

[00:03:48] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:03:56] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:04:08] Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey I can no longer stay

[00:04:17] And watch the new glass cages that spring up along the quay

[00:04:26] My mind's too full of memories too old to hear new chimes

[00:04:36] I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare old times

[00:04:46] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:04:54] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times

[00:05:04] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:05:13] I remember Dublin city in the rare old times
