Lyrics
Fare thee well until we meet again
Down by the Liffey Water
I'll bid farewell to Dublin and
Your streets of cobblestones
I'm going away to leave you
Me friends and all the girls too
Till I return to see you
Farewell old Dublin town
To the city of our fathers
Where friend and foe had gathered
Where the Norman
Dane and Saxon have mingled with the Gael
Administered the Kingdom but soon
The Pale was reelin'
To cradle Irish freedom in
Dear old Dublin town
Down by the River Poddle
Through whiskey stout and coddle
It's there with all the gentle folk
We drank and laughed and sung
And courted with your daughters and
Swam around your waters
And seeing your buildings slaughtered in
Dear old Dublin town
I remember in my childhood
Your mountains and your wild wood
I heard about your heroes in
The classroom as a boy
Of Thomas Street where Emmet died
In Sackville place they fought with pride
Of the times when brave Wolfe Tone did
Ride in dear old Dublin town
Her poets, they were many, her writers
They were plenty
There was Swift with all his little and
Folk and Joyce and Molly Bloom
Her characters an unsung gang
There's forty coats and ol' bang bang
And Zozimus who always sang of
Dear old Dublin town
And now I'm standing on the quay
Me destiny's uncertain
For fortunes have been lost and won
With the dealing of a hand
The past, it is a purple haze
The future is an untold maze
And the present is another gaze
At dear old Dublin town
Fare thee well until we meet again
Down by the Liffey Water
I'll bid farewell to Dublin and
Your streets of cobblestones
I'm going away to leave you
Me friends and all the girls too
Till I return to see you
Farewell old Dublin town
