the shannon singers - the rare old times lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
raised on songs and story, heroes of renown
the passing days and glory that once was dublin town
the hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children’s rhymes
that once were part of dublin in the rare old times

[chorus]
ring around the rosie, as the light declines
i remember dublin city in the rare old times

[verse 2]
my name it is sean dempsey as dublin as can be
born hard and raised in pimlico in a house that used to be
by trade i was a cooper, lost out to redundancy
like my house that fell to progress my trades and memory

[chorus]
ring around the rosie, as the light declines
i remember dublin city in the rare old times

[verse 3]
ah the years have made me bitter the drink has dimmed my brain
for dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the same
the metropole and pillar are gone the royal long pulled down
as the gray unyielding concrete makes a city of my town
[chorus]
ring around the rosie, as the light declines
i remember dublin city in the rare old times

[verse 4]
fare thee well my anna liffey i can no longer stay
and watch the new glass cages that rise up along the quay
my mind’s too full of memory too old to hear new chimes
i was once a part of dublin in the rare old times

[chorus]
ring around the rosie, as the light declines
i remember dublin city in the rare old times
i remember dublin city in the rare old times
