《The Rare Old Times》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rare Old Times - Irish Folk Players

[00:00:09] Raised on songs and stories heroes of renown

[00:00:18] The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin town

[00:00:26] The hallowed halls and houses the haunting childrens rhymes

[00:00:35] That once was part of Dublin in the rare ould times

[00:00:45] Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines

[00:00:52] I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times

[00:01:04] My name it is sean dempsey as Dublin as can be

[00:01:12] Born hard and late in pimlico in a house that ceased to be

[00:01:21] By trade I was a cooper lost out to redundancy

[00:01:29] Like my house that fell to progress my trade's a memory

[00:01:38] And I courted peggy dignam as pretty as you please

[00:01:47] A rogue and child of mary from the rebel liberties

[00:01:55] I lost her to a student chap with skin as black as coal

[00:02:04] When he took her off to birmingham well she took away my soul

[00:02:13] Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines

[00:02:21] I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times

[00:02:33] The years have made me bitter the gargle dims me brain

[00:02:41] Cause Dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the same

[00:02:49] The pillar and the met have gone the royal long since pulled down

[00:02:58] As the grey unyielding concrete makes a city of my town

[00:03:06] Fare thee well sweet anna liffey I can no longer stay

[00:03:15] And watch the new glass cages that spring up along the quay

[00:03:24] My mind's too full of memories too old to hear new chimes

[00:03:32] I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times

[00:03:42] Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines

[00:03:49] I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times

[00:03:59] Ring a ring a rosey as the light declines

[00:04:06] I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
