Karaoke Track: Rare Auld Times by The High Kings (Dream Catcher) - Karaoke Nerds

The passing tales and glories

that once was Dublin Town

the haunting childrens' rhymes

That once was part of Dublin

in the rare auld times

That once was part of Dublin

in the rare auld times

as Dublin as can be

Born hard and late in Pimlico,

in a house that ceased to be

Born hard and late in Pimlico,

in a house that ceased to be

Like my house that fell to progress,

my trade's a memory

And I courted Peggy Dignam,

as pretty as you please

A rogue and a child of Mary,

from the rebel Liberties

I lost her to a student chap,
with skin as black as coal

When he took her offto Birmingham

she took away my soul

When he took her offto Birmingham

she took away my soul

as the light declines

I remember Dublin City

in the rare auld times

I remember Dublin City

in the rare auld times

the gargle dims me brain

For Dublin keeps on changing,

and nothing seems the same

For 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-rosey,

as the light declines

I remember Dublin City

in the rare auld times....

I remember Dublin City

in the rare auld times....

in the rare auld times....

So fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey,
I can no longer stay
And watch the new glass cages,

spring up along the quay

I can no longer stay

And watch the new glass cages,

spring up along the quay

And watch the new glass cages,

spring up along the quay

My mind's too full of memories,

too old to hear new chimes
I once was part of Dublin,

in the rare auld times

I remember Dublin City

in the rare auld times

Ring-a-ring-a-rosey,

as the light declines

I remember Dublin City

in the rare auld. times .......
