Girls of Dublin Town
Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool,
Sometimes we're bound for France.
But now we're bound for Dublin town
To give the girls a chance.
cho: Hurrah! Hurrah!
For the girls of Dub-a-lin town
Hurrah for the bonny green flag
And the harp without the crown.
Sometimes we're bound for furrin' parts,
Sometimes we're bound for home.
For Johhny's (Paddy's) always at his best
Wherever he may roam.
Chorus
Sometimes the weather's fine and fair,
Sometimes it's damn well foul,
Sometimes it blows a Cape 'orn gale
That freezes up your soul.
Chorus
Sometimes we work as hard as hell,
Sometimes our grub it stinks.
Enough to make a sojer curse
Or make a bishop blink.
Chorus
Sometimes we wish we'd niver jined,
Sometimes we'd like to be
A-sittin in a pub, me bhoys
A gal sat on each knee.
Chorus
Sometimes we're bound for Liverpool,
Sometimes we're bound for France.
But now we're bound for Dublin town
To give the girls a chance.
Chorus
And when the voyage is all done
And we've gone away on shore,
We'll spend our money on the gels
and go to sea for more.
Chorus
