[00:21.22]Are the passing tales and glories, that once was Dublin town. [00:30.11] [00:31.26]The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes. [00:39.61]That once was Dublin city in the rare old times. [00:48.75] [00:49.81]Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines, [00:57.61]I remember Dublin city in the rare old times [01:06.68] [01:09.04]My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as can be [01:17.57] [01:18.33]Born hard and late in Pimlico, in a house that ceased to be. [01:26.77] [01:28.15]By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy. [01:36.47]Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory. [01:44.71] [01:47.01]Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines, [01:54.73]I remember Dublin city in the rare old times [02:03.80] [02:06.45]The years have made me bitter, tha gargle dims my brain, [02:14.92] [02:15.51]Cause Dublin keeps on changing, and nothing seems the same. [02:24.11] [02:25.38]The Pillar and the Met have gone, [02:28.81] [02:29.80]The Royale long since pulled down, [02:33.72]As the great unyielding concrete, makes a city of my town. [02:42.14] [02:44.04]Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines, [02:51.90]I remember Dublin city in the rare old times [03:00.79] [03:03.40]Fare thee well sweet Anna Liffey, [03:08.67]I can no longer stay, [03:12.06] [03:12.62]And watch the new glass cages, that spring up along the Quay. [03:21.50] [03:22.45]My mind's too full of memories, too old to hear new chimes, [03:30.63]I'm part of what was Dublin, in the rare old times. [03:39.92] [03:41.04]Ring a ring a Rosie, as the light declines, [03:49.01]I remember Dublin city in the rare old times [03:58.05]I remember Dublin city in the rare old times [04:08.37]
