The Dubliners - Dicey Reilly

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she has taken to the sup

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she will never give it up

For it`s off each morning to the pop

And then she’s in for another little drop

Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she has taken to the sup

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she will never give it up

For it`s off each morning to the pop

And then she’s in for another little drop

Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

She walks along Fitzgibbon Street

with an independent air

And then it’s down by Summerhill

and see the people stare

She says “it’s nearly half past one

And it’s time I had another little one”

Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she has taken to the sup

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she will never give it up

For it`s off each morning to the pop

And then she’s in for another little drop

Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Long years ago when men were men

and fancied May Oblong

Or lovely Becky Cooper

Or Maggie Mary Wong

One woman put them all to shame

Just one was worthy of the name

And the name of that dame was Dicey Reilly

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she has taken to the sup

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she will never give it up

For it`s off each morning to the pop

And then she’s in for another little drop

Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

But time went catching up on her

like many pretty whores

And after you along the street

before you’re out the door

Their balance vague, their looks all fade

But out of all that great brigade

Still the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she has taken to the sup

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she will never give it up

For it`s off each morning to the pop

And then she’s in for another little drop

Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she has taken to the sup

Oh, poor old Dicey Reilly

she will never give it up

For it`s off each morning to the pop

And then she’s in for another little drop

Ah, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
