《The Rare Old Times》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rare Old Times - International Pub Ensemble

[00:00:09] Raised on songs stories heroes of re-known

[00:00:18] The passing tales glories that once was dublin town

[00:00:26] The hallowed halls houses the haunting childrens' rhymes

[00:00:35] That once was dublin city in the rare old times

[00:00:45] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:00:52] I remember dublin city in the rare old times

[00:01:04] My name it is sean demspey as dublin as can be

[00:01:12] Born hard late in pimlico in a house that ceased to be

[00:01:21] By trade i was a cooper lost out to redundancy

[00:01:29] Like my house that fell to progress my trade's a memory

[00:01:38] I courted peggy dignan as pretty as you please

[00:01:47] A rogue a child of mary from the rebel liberties

[00:01:55] I lost her to a student chap with a skin as black as coal

[00:02:04] When he took her off to birmingham she took away my soul

[00:02:13] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:02:21] I remember dublin city in the rare old times

[00:02:33] The years have made me bitter the gargle dims me rain

[00:02:41] 'Cause dublin keeps on changing nothing stays the same

[00:02:49] The pillar the met have gone the royal long since pulled down

[00:02:58] As the great unyielding concrete makes a city of my town

[00:03:06] Fare thee well sweet anna liffey i can no longer stay

[00:03:15] I watch the new glass cages that spring up along the quay

[00:03:24] My mind's too full of memories too old to hear new chimes

[00:03:32] I'm part of what was dublin in the rare old times

[00:03:41] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:03:49] I remember dublin city in the rare old times

[00:03:59] Ring a ring a rosie as the light declines

[00:04:06] I remember dublin city in the rare old times
