Wasn't there [Bm] many [E] months of June when first from home I started left the girls at [Bm] home
A sad and broken [E] heart that saluted father dear
Kiss me darling mother I drank a pint of [D] beer me grief and [E] tears dispersed
And then after briefly corn, labour I was born
Cut the snowflake [D] torn to banish ghosts
My [E] goblin re-branded a pair of brooks
Got to lower the box, lightened [D] all the dark
I was a rocky road, a doubling one, two, [Em] three, four, five
_ Putting down the rocky [D] road and all the ways
The doubling [G] worked for [Em] lollty da
_ In _ _ _ _ Mullingar that night I rested limbs aware
He started by [D] daylight, next morning bright
[Em] And there he took a drop of the pure
Kept me heart from sinking, that the paddy's cure
[D] Every song [Em] for drinking to see the lassie smile
Laughing all the while at me [D] curious style
What set your heart [Em] a-bubbling, ask me was I hard
My desire acquired, the life was [D] nearly tired
I was a rocky road, a doubling one, [Em] two, three, four, five
Went ahead, putting down the rocky [D] road and all the ways
The doubling [Em] worked for lollty da
In _ _ _ _ Dublin next arrive I thought it be a pity to be so soon [D] deprived
Of two of [G] my fat [Em] boys it is so grand I took a stroll
All among the quality bungled it [D] was stowal
In [Em] the neat locality something draws me mind
When I looked behind, no bungle could I [D] find
Upon [Em] me stick a wobbling quivered
I was a _ _ _

rocky road, a doubling one, [Em] two, three, four, five
Went ahead, putting down the rocky [D] road and all the ways
The doubling [Em] worked for lollty da
_ _ _ _ From there I got away me spirit, I never fell and landed on the [D] quay
Just as the [Em] ship was sailing, Captain asked me
Roar, said that no room had he
When I jumped [D] aboard the cabin, [G] fell for Paddy
Down among the pigs, little Paddy Riggs
Down [D] some Paddy changed the water, me [Em] wobbling men it's holly head
Wish me shelf was dead, I'd better fire [D] instead
Down among the rocky road, a doubling one, [Em] two, three, four, five
Went ahead, putting down the rocky [D] road and all the ways
The doubling [Bm] worked for [Em] lollty da

[Em] boys at Liverpool, when me safely landed, called me self [D] a fool
They could [G] no longer stand [Em] it, blood began to boil
Tampere I was losing, four out of Ayrton's [D] Isle
They'd begun abusing [Em] their mammy, so I said, I shall lay me [D] isle of thy
[Em] Away boys, [D] away boys, [G] away boys
A hobbling with the low of the bay, [D] joined the diddley and play
[Em] Meekly [D] cleared away, caught a rocky road, a doubling one, two, [Em] three, four, five
