barleyjuice - modern pirates lyrics

we’ll sail inner harbor and delaware bay
the hudson, the schuylk!ll and tip of cape may
brandishing gl-sses and tankards galore
in search of the barley juice up on the sh0r-
and it’s toast to the l-ssies
and drink to the lads
remember the women and song that we hadš
we’ll fill-up our gl-sses
and empty the kegs
then head-out for more on what’s left of our legs
we’ll stagger on in to the pubs and the bars
foresaking our vessels for domestic cars
insulting the strong, and exalting the weak
œtil were too drunk to fight and too tired to speak
and it’s toast to the l-ssies
and drink to the lads
remember the women and song that we hadš
we’ll fill-up our gl-sses
and empty the kegs
then head out for more on what’s left of our legs
we trade dublin for philly, and york for new york
as long as there’s whiskey we’ll sure take the work
we won’t bring the muskets, we won’t cause the pain
but we’re good for some headaches, and tough to clean stains
and it’s toast to the l-ssies
and drink to the lads
remember the women and song that we hadš
we’ll fill-up our gl-sses
and empty the kegs
then head-out for more on what’s left of our legs
and it’s toast to the l-ssies
and drink to the lads
remember the women and song that we hadš
we’ll fill-up our gl-sses
and empty the kegs
then head-out for more on what’s left of our legs
rocky road to dublin
while in the merry month of may from me home i started
left the girls of tuam so sad and broken hearted
saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
then off to reap the corn, leave where i was born
cut a stout black th-rn to banish ghosts and goblins;
bought a pair of brogues rattling o’er the bogs
and fright’ning all the dogs on the rocky road to dublin
one, two, three four, five
hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to dublin, whack follol de rah !
in mullingar that night i rested limbs so weary
started by daylight next morning blithe and early
took a drop of pure to keep me heartfrom sinking;
thats a paddy’s cure whenever he’s on drinking
see the l-ssies smile, laughing all the while
at me curious style, ‘twould set your heart a bubblin’
asked me was i hired, wages i required
i was almost tired of the rocky road to dublin
one, two, three four, five
hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to dublin, whack follol de rah !
in dublin next arrived, i thought it such a pity
to be soon deprived a view of that fine city
so then i took a stroll, all among the quality;
me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality
something crossed me mind, when i looked behind
no bundle could i find upon me stick a wobblin’
enquiring for the rogue, they said me connaught brogue
wasn’t much in vogue on the rocky road to dublin
one, two, three four, five
hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to dublin, whack follol de rah !
from there i got away, me spirits never falling
landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
the captain at me roared, said that no room had he;
when i jumped aboard, a cabin found for paddy
down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs
danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling;
when off holyhead i wished meself was dead
or better for instead on the rocky road to dublin
one, two, three four, five
hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to dublin, whack follol de rah !
well the boys of liverpool, when we safely landed
called meself a fool, i could no longer stand it
blood began to boil, temper i was losing;
poor old erin’s isle they began abusing
“hurrah me soul” says i, me shillelagh i let fly
some galway boys were nigh and saw i was a hobble in
with a load “hurray !” joined in the affray
we quitely cleared the way for the rocky road to dublin
one, two, three four, five
hunt the hare and turn her down
the rocky road and all the way to dublin
whack follol de rah !
