Molly Malone (Re)
Dubliners

Verse One: D G A

In DDublin's fair city, where theEmgirls are

A
so pretty,
Bm
I first set my eyes on sweet Molloy Malone. G
D
She wheeled her wheelbarrow, through the streets broad
A
and narrow, D Bm
Crying
Em
cockles
A D
and mussels,
A-live, a-live oh.

Chorus:
D
A-live,
G
alive O,
A
A-live, alive O,
Crying cockles and mussels,
A-live, alive oh.

Verse Two:
She was a fishmonger, and sure twas no wonder,
For so were her Father and Mother before.
They all wheeled their barrows, through streets broad and
narrow,
Crying Cockles and Mussels, Alive, alive O.

Instrumental

Verse Three:
She died of a fever, and no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
But her ghost wheels her barrow, through the streets broad
and narrow,
Crying: Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive O
Whisky In The Jar (Do)
C Am

AsF I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains

C
I met
C
with Captain Farrell and his
Am
money he was counting
I first produced
F
my pistol and I then produced my rapier
C
Saying "stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
G
Mush-a
C
ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack
F
for my daddy-o
Whack forC my daddy-o
G C
There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny

I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

Chorus

Instrumental

'Twas was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel

Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

Chorus

If anyone can aid me 't is my brother in the army

If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me, we'll go rovin' through Killkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny

Chorusx2
Dirty Old Town (Do)
C
F

I met my C
love by the gas Dirty old town
works wall F Dirty old town
Dreamed a dream by the
Am
old canal C
I'm gonna make me a
I Fkissed myC
girl by the good sharp axe
factory wall Shining steel tempered in
G
the fire
Dirty old town
Am
I'll chop you down like an
Dirty old town old dead tree

Clouds are drifting Dirty old town

across the moon Dirty old town
Cats are prowling on
their beat I met my love by the gas
Spring's a girl from the works wall
streets at night Dreamed a dream by the
old canal
Dirty old town I kissed my girl by the
Dirty old town factory wall

I heard a siren from the Dirty old town

docks Dirty old town
Saw a train set the night Dirty old town
on fire Dirty old town
I smelled the spring on
the smoky wind
The Wild Rover (Sol)

G
I've been a wild rover for chorus
C
many a year D
G
I spent all me money
G
on I took from me pocket ten
whiskey and beer sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes
But now I'm returning with opened wide with delight
gold in great store She said: "I have whiskeys
And I never will play the and wines on the best!
wild rover no more And the words that I told
you were only in jest!"
chorus: D G
And it's no nay Cnever, no
nay never no more C chorus
G
Will I Dplay the wild rover,
G
no never, no more I'll go home to my parents,
confess what I've done
I went in to an alehouse I And ask them to pardon
used to frequent their prodigal son
And I told the landlady me And when they've caressed
money was spent me as oftimes before
I never will play the wild
I asked her for credit, she rover no more.
answered me "Nay!"
"Such custom as yours I
could have any day!" chorus (x2)

Chorus

Many’s the lad, fought on that day, well the claymore did

CHORUS

Though the waves heave, soft will ye sleep, ocean’s a royal

bed,
rocked in the deep flora will keep watch by your weary head.

CHORUS

Burned are their homes, exile and death, Scatter the loyal

Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath, Charlie will come again.

The Town I Loved So Well (La)

A E D A
In my Dmemory I will always see
A A E
The town that I have loved so well
A E D A
Where our school played ball A/C#
by the gas
E/B
yard wall
D
And we laughed through the smoke and the smell

Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane,

Past ther gaol (jail) and down behind the fountain,

Those were happy days in so many, many ways

In the town I loved so well.

In the early morning, the shirt factory horn

Callde women from Creggan, the moor and the bog

While their men on the dole played a mother's role

Fed the children and then trained the dogs.

And when times got tough, there was just about enough
But they saw it through without complaining

For deep inside was a burning pride

In the town I loved so well

There was music there in the Derry air

Like a language that we all could understand

I remember the day when I earned my first pay

When I played in a small pick-up band

There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth

I was sad to leave it all behind me

For I learned about life and I found a wife

In the town I loved so well
 But when I returned how my eyes have burned
To see how a town could be brought to its knees

By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars

And the gas that hangs on to every breeze

Now the army's installed by the old gas yard wall

And the damded barbed wire gets higher and higher

With their tanks and their guns oh my God what have they done
To the town I loved so well

Now the music's gone but they carry on

For their spirit's been bruised, never broken

They will not forget but their hearts are set

On tomorrow and peace once again.

For what's done is done and what's won is won

And what's lost is lost and gone forever

I can only pray for a bright, brand new day

In the town I loved so well

Wellerman (Bm) (Seashanty)
There once was a ship that put to sea
And the name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)

Chorus:
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

She had not been two weeks from shore

When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

Chorus

Before the boat had hit the water

The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down below (huh)

Chorus

No line was cut, no whale was freed

An' the captain's mind was not on greed
But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)

Chorus

(Humming)
For forty days or even more (ooh)
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
And still that whale did go

Chorus

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on

The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all

Now Albert Mooney says he loves her,

All the boys are fighting for her.
Knocking on the door and ringing on the bell,
Saying:"Oh my true love, are you well?"
Down she comes as white as snow
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.
Old Johnny Murphy says she'll die
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye.
CHORUS
Instrumental

Let the wind and the rain and the hail come high,
And the snow come shoveling from the sky.
She's as nice as apple pie,
She'll get her own lad by and by!
When she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma when she comes home.
Let them all come as they will
But it's Patrick Murphy she loves still!

In The Rare Old Times (Sol)
Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines,
I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times.

Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown,

The passing tales and glories, that once was Dublin town,
The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes,
That once was Dublin city, in the Rare Oul Times.

Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines,

I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times.

My name it is Sean Dempsey as Dublin as could be

Born hard and late in Pimlico in a house that ceased to be
My trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy
Like my house that fell to progress my trade's a memory

And I courted Peggy Dignan, as pretty as you please,

A rogue and child of Mary, from the rebel liberties,
I lost her to a student chap, with skin as black as coal,
When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul.

Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines,

I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times.

The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims me brain

'Cause Dublin keeps on changing and nothing seems the same.
The Pillar and the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down
As the grey unyielding concrete makes a city of my Town.

Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines,

I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times.

Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey, I can no longer stay,

And watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the quay,
My mind's too full of memories, to old to hear new chimes,
I'm a part of what was Dublin, in the Rare Oul Times.

Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines,

I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times.

Ring a ring a rosie as the lights declines,

I remember Dublin city in the rare oul times.
Rare Old Mountain Dew (Re)

Let the grasses grow and the waters flow in a free

and easy way
But give me enough of the rare old stuff that's
comes from Galway Bay
Come gangers all from Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim
too
Oh, we'll give them the slip and we'll take a sip
Of the rare old Mountain Dew

Chorus:
Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-um,
diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh
Hi di-diddly-idle-um, diddly-doodle-idle-um,
diddly-doo-ri-diddlum-deh

There's a neat little still at the foot of the hill

Where the smoke curls up to the sky
By the smoke and the smell you can plainly tell
That there's poitin' brewin' nearby
For it fills the air with a perfume rare
And betwixt both me and you
As home we stroll, we can take a bowl
Or a bucket of the Mountain Dew

Chorus

Now learned men who use the pen

Have sung the praises high
Of the sweet poitin' from Ireland green
Distilled from wheat and rye

Put away with your pills, it'll cure all ills

Be ye Pagan, Christian or Jew
So take off your coat and grease your throat
With a bucket of the Mountain Dew

Chorus
Sally Brown (Sol)
I shipped on board a Liverpool liner
Way, hay,roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled till the day
I´m gonna spend my money on Sally Brown

Oh, Sally Brown, is a nice young lady,

Way, hay,roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled till the day
I´m gonna spend my money on Sally Brown

Her mammy doesn´t likes a tarry sailor.

Chorus

She wants her to marry a one leg captain

Chorus

Instrumental

Yeah, Sally Brown, she's a fine young lady!

Chorus

Sally wouldn´t wed me so I shipped across the water

Chorus

And now I am courting Sally´s daughter

Way, hay,roll and go
And we rolled all night
And we rolled till the day
I´m gonna spend my money on Sally Brown
And we rolled all night,
And we rolled till the day,
I ´m gonna spend my money on Sally Brown.

Leaving of Liverpool (G dur)
The pogues

Fare thee well to you, me own true love

I´m going fare fare away
I am bound for California
And I know that I´ll return some day

So fare thee well, my own true love

For when I return, united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee

I´have ship on a yankee sailing ship

Davy Crockett is her name
And her Captain's name was Burgess
And they say that she's a floating hell

So fare thee well, my own true love

For when I return, united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee

Oh the sun it´s on the harbour love

And I wish I could remain
for I know it will be a long long time
before I´ll see you again

So fare thee well, my own true love

For when I return, united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee

The Mermaid (G dur)
It was Friday morn, when we set sail
and we were not far from the land
when our captain he spied a mermaid so fair
with a comb and a glass in her hand

CHORUS:
and the ocean waves do roll,
and the stormey winds do blow
and we poor sailors are skippin' at the
top
while the landlubbers lie down
below, below, below
while the landlubbers lie down below

Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship

and a fine brave man was he
"That fishy mermaid has warned me of our fate"
"we shall sleep at the bottom of the sea!"
CHORUS

Then up spoke the first mate of our gallant ship

and a brave spoken man was he
he said, "I have a wife in Salem by the sea
and tonight a widow she will be!"
CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship

and a fine young lad was he
he said, "I have a sweetheart in Brooklyn by the
sea
and tonight a weepin' she will be!" CHORUS

Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship

and a crazy old butcher was he
he said, "I care more for my pots and my pans
than I cares for the bottom of the sea!"
CHORUS

Then three times 'round spun our gallant ship

three times 'round spun she
three times 'round spun our gallant ship
and she sank to the bottom of the sea
CHORUS
All for Me Grog (Fa dur)
"All For Me Grog"
And it's all for me grog, me jolly, jolly grog
All for my beer and tobacco
Well, I spent all me tin with the lasses drinkin' gin
Far across the Western Ocean I must wander

I'm sick in the head and I haven't been to bed

Since first I came ashore with me plunder
I've seen centipedes and snakes and me head is full of aches
And I have to take a path for way out yonder

CHORUS

Where are me boots, me noggin', noggin' boots

They're all sold for beer and tobacco
See the soles they were thin and the uppers were lettin' in
And the heels were lookin' out for better weather

CHORUS

Where is me shirt, me noggin', noggin' shirt

It's all sold for beer and tobacco
You see the sleeves were all worn out and the collar been torn about
And the tail was lookin' out for better weather

CHORUS

Where is me wife, me noggin', noggin' wife

She's all sold for beer and tobacco
You see her front it was worn out and her tail I kicked about
And I'm sure she's lookin' out for better weather

CHORUS

Where is me bed, me noggin', noggin' bed

It's all sold for beer and tobacco
You see I sold it to the girls until the springs were all in twirls
And the sheets they're lookin' out for better weather

CHORUS
