Lyrics

Lyrics:
First verse
Said Pat McGee, now listen to me, I've heard you fellows brag about your beauties over here, And the girls you love so dear. They may be swell, that's all very well at wearing fancy clothes. But I'd a queen, a fair colleen, as sweet as any rose. Oh, lady buck, oh, lady buck, think of my repose.
Chorus
Along the Rocky road to Dublin we were swinging along, Singing a song with joy me heart was bubblin' with Cordelia by me side, Sure every time I'd look in her roguish eyes of Irish blue, I couldn't help but feel very proud, that I was Irish too. All me thoughts of dear old Dublin seem to carry me back to a rickety shack. How I'd love to be there once again. Just like before, shure, only to love Cordelia more Along the rocky road to Dublin. Along the Rocky road to Dublin we were swinging along, Singing a song with joy me heart was bubblin' with Cordelia by me side, Sure every time I'd look in her roguish eyes of Irish blue, I couldn't help but feel very proud, that I was Irish too. All me thoughts of dear old Dublin seem to carry me back to a rickety shack. How I'd love to be there once again. Just like before, shure, only to love Cordelia more Along the rocky road to Dublin.
Second verse
The lakes and dells and old whishing wells We passed along the road among the shamrock covered hills Always filled our hearts with thrills; And all the while we sat on a stile, we kissed and kissed and kissed; For whisper, lad, the heart she had was bigger than your fist. Oh, lady buck, oh, lady buck, think of what you missed.
(Chorus)
