songs and stories,
Heroes of renown,
The passing tales and glories,
That once was Dublin town.
The hallowed halls and houses,
the haunting children's rhymes,
That once was Dublin City
in the rare old times.
Ring -a -ring -a -rosie,
as the light declines,
I re member Dublin City
an d the rare old times.
My name, it is Shondame Sea,
as Dublin as can be.
Born hard and late in Pimlico,
in a house that ceased to be.
By trade I was a cooper,
lost out to redundancy
Like my house that fell to progress,

my trade's a memory
Like her to Peggy Dyken,
as pretty as you please
Our old and child of Mary,
from the rebel liberties.
I lost her to a student chap,
with skin as black as coal.
When he took her off to Birmingham,

she took away my soul.
Ring -a -ring -a -rosie,
as the light declines,
I remember Dublin city
in the rare of times.
The years have made me bitter,
the gargles dimmed me brain
As Dublin keeps on changing
and nothing seems the same
The pillar and the net have gone,
the royal long since pulled down
As the grey unyielding concrete

makes a city of our town.
Fare thee well, sweet Anna, live, be,
I can no longer stay,
And watch the new glass cages
spring up along the quay.
Me mind's too full of memories,
too old to hear new chimes
I'm a part of what was Dublin
