Luyện nghe bài hát The Rare Ould Times

Raised on songs and stories, of renown
The passing tales and glories that once was Town
The hallowed and houses, the haunting childrens rhymes
That was part of Dublin in the rare ould times

Ring a ring a rosey, as the light
I remember Dublin City in the rare ould

My name it is Dempsey, as Dublin as can be
Born hard and in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be
By trade I was a cooper, lost out to
Like my that fell to progress, my trade's a memory

And I courted Peggy Dignam, as as you please
A rogue and child of Mary, the rebel Liberties
I her to a student chap, with skin as black as coal
When he her off to Birmingham, well she took away my soul

Ring a ring a rosey, as the light
I remember Dublin City in the ould times

The years have made me bitter, the dims me brain
Cause keeps on changing, and nothing seems the same
The Pillar and the Met gone, the Royal long since pulled down
As the unyielding concrete, makes a city of my town

Ring a ring a rosey, as the light
I Dublin City in the rare ould times

Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey, I can no stay
And watch the new glass cages, that spring up the Quay
My mind's too full of memories, too old to new chimes
I'm of what was Dublin, in the rare ould times

a ring a rosey, as the light declines
I remember Dublin in the rare ould times

Ring a ring a rosey, as the light
I remember Dublin in the rare ould times
I Dublin City in the rare ould times
