“In Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight, next mornin’ light and airy,
Took a drop of the pure, to keep my heart from sinkin’,
That’s an Irishman’s cure, whene’er he’s on for drinking.
To see the lasses smile, laughing all the while,
At my curious style, ‘twould set your heart a-bubblin’.
They asked if I was hired, the wages I required,
Till I was almost tired, ff the rocky road to Dublin.”
- Damien Dempsey, “Rocky Road to Dublin” from ”Rocky Road to Dublin”, 2008
clever!
