Poor Old 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 pub |
| And then she’s in for another little drop |
| For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly |
| Oh she walks along Fitzgibbon street with an independent air |
| And then it’s down be Summerhill and as 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 |
| Long years ago when men were men and fancied May Oblong |
| Or lovely Beckie Cooper or Maggie’s Mary Wong |
| One woman put them all to shame, just one was worthy of the name |
| And the name of the dame was Dicey Reilly |
| Oh but time went catching up on her like many pretty whores |
| And it’s after you along the street before you’re out the door |
| The balance weighed and they looks all fade, but out of all that great brigade |
| Still the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly |
