about

A song to our patron saint!

lyrics

CHORUS:
Poor old Dicey Reilly, she has taken to the sup
Poor old Dicey Reilly, she will never give it up
Well it's off each morning to the pop
And then she’s in for another little drop
For 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's 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

CHORUS

She walks along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air
And then it's down by Summerhill, and as the people stare
She'll say, "It's nearly half past one
It's time I went for another bit of fun”
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

CHORUS

She'll travel far to a dockside bar to have another round
And after one or two or three she doesn't feel so sound
After four she’s a bit unstable,
After five under the table
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

CHORUS

Oh we carry her home at twelve o'clock as we do every night
Bring her inside and tuck her in, and then turn out the light
Next morning she'll get out of bed
Looking for a cure for her head
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly

CHORUS x2
Oh, the heart of rowl is Dicey Reilly
Yes, the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
