The Dublin City Ramblers - The Rare Old Times - текст песни и слова, похожие исполнители
Raised on songs & stories, heroes of renown The passing tales & glories that once was Dublin town The hallowed halls & houses, the haunting childrens' rhymes That once was Dublin city in the rare ould times Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as can be Born hard & late in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be By trade I was acooper, lost out to redundancy Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory I courted Peggy Dignan, as pretty as you please A rogue & a child of Mary, from the rebel liberties I lost her to a student chap with a skin as blackas coal When he took her off to Birmingham, she tookaway my soul Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims me brain' Cause Dublin keeps on changing & nothing seems the same The Pillar & the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down As the great unyielding concrete makes a city of my town Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffe I can no longer stay and watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the quay My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes I'm part of what was Dublin in the rare ould times Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines I remember Dublin city in the rare ould times
