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 |
