|
|
My name it is Sean Dempsey |
|
|
|
As Dublin as could be |
|
|
|
Born hard & 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 trades a memory |
|

|
I courted Peggy Digman |
|
|
|
As pretty as you please. |
|
|
|
A rage and child of Mary |
|
|
|
from the rebel liberties |
|
|
|
I lost her to a student chap |
|
|
|
With skin as back as coal |
|
|
|
When he took her off to Birmingham |
|
|
|
She took away my soul. |

\beginverse |
|
|
|
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. |

|
|
|
Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey |
|
|
|
I can no longer stay |
|
|
|
And watch me new glass cages that |
|
|
|
Spring up along me Ouay |
|
|
|
My mind's too full of memories |
|
|
|
Too old to hear new chimes |
|
|
|
l'm a part of what was Dublin |
|
|
|
In the rare ould times. |
