Dubliners, The - Dicey Reilly Lyrics
[Chorus:]
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 pop
And then she's in for another little drop
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]

That English man dicey reilly knows us all for pay but he looks like a market man not a celt with a jig, to me anyway

There's always one wanker mouthing off at a gig.
Rip legend 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
god bless em all
I wish I could have the opportunity to see these men live.
What was shouted from the crowd ???
I couldn't hear x
love it truth..will out god bless
Love the Dubliners
never come again to sing like these legendary men
The irish are good people
the words of the song:
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly, she has taken to the sup
And poor old Dicey Reilly, she will never give it up
It's off each morning to the pop that she goes in
for another little drop
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
She will walk along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air
And then its down by Summerhill, and as the people stare
She'll say, "It's nearly half passed one
Time I went in for another little one
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Now at two, pubs close and out she goes as happy as a lark
She'll find a bench to sleep it off at St. Patrick's Park
She'll wake at five feeling in the pink
And say, "Tis time for another drink
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Now she'll travel far to a dockside bar to have another round
And after one or two or three she doesn't feel quite so sound
After four she's a bit unstable
After five underneath the table
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Oh they carry her home at twelve o'clock as they do every night
Bring her inside, put her on the bed and then turn out the light
Next morning she'll get out of bed
And look for a cure for her head
But the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
I went to the concert of Dubliners in September 2002 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. What a fantastic experience, thank you for the stories and the music, guys!
Amazing Ronnie was so great ever adore HIm ever thank you
Absolutely Fantastic Beautiful Mesmerising Timeless,this is what you call music.
Irish music will live for ever, althuogh almost all of the died already
"Deal with that fella" 😂
What characters... Ronnie and co. Legends (rip) 🙏 🎶 ☺ ✌️ 🇮🇪
Fuck the insane English establishment, who believed that they could subdue the spirit of the Irish People. They still believe it in the North but that clock is ticking........
kelly was way better
Could listen to this morning noon and night ..R IP Ronnie D x
Our day will come! Ireland leads the world in song, the spirit of democratic freedom and the determination to see it through!
I refuse to recognise the shithole in Westmonster that supposedly governs my country.....SCOTLAND. I also refuse to recognise the Westmonster shithole's authority in the REAL Ireland, EIRE.
Ronnie is the boss
he sounded like a shithead there . I am tak=lking of Ronnie . not too educated I guess
Morgan Freeman who ? Perfect Narrator Voice
I’m honoured to share the same second name with this lady!
How can anyone replace this true wonderful true Irish gentleman, thank you for the happiness you have
Given to my sad life. Best wishes from Stan Orr, p
You can't..
I like that you tell us the date in the description! :P
Legend, too true.
I love how Ronnie Drew told that guy that interrupted him to shut up.
I love that tune and the Dubliners singers great singers.
Didn't know George R.R. Martin was in The Dubliners
whoever down-voted this is wrong.
God Bless Ronnie, a beard ta be proud of...
its the dubliners singing what more needs to be said to get people to like the video
Woof woof
Erin Go Bragh.
Spoke to him by phone from here in the States a day or so before he died. He was in hospital. Told him I enjoyed being his guest for dinner in Ireland at his home in Ireland along with his wife Diedre back in 1997. Great guy, great spirit, real man.
Nana Mac Kenna, sucked crewbeans, was the wisper, imagine she was the 'heart of the round' twas a queer ting, sure i was only a babee, not sure if the dog jumped the window, or the wee wan t'was cast out the window, sure, to be sure , din't we all fall on our heads
Is that George R R Martin on the left ?
at the start I thought he was singing
Brilliant
It is sad that Ronnie drew died you and Ronnie were my favorite singer
Haha he was such a class act.
Ronnie Drew was a genius. I loved that voice of his. He and Johnny Cash should had teamed up for at least one recording. God bless him.
I will always and forever hope that should I make it to heaven, I'm met at the nearest pub with those two making the rafters roar.
For Marc. Two thumbs up and your right.
Ronnie Drew RIP/From Russia with love
.... just a reminder, there are still lots of Dicey Riley's in Dublin these days......
(so I am told).
John Kavan
John Kavanagh
How sad.
Our dream would be that All women found themselves peace and happiness with loving families and children to take care of and be taken care of.
Ireland is right now attempting to follow in the footsteps of her European sisters in their abandoning of Christ and his law of Love. It will go no better for her than it has for them. Nay, perhaps even worse we might say.
Sad. The path of Christ is free to take part of and when done with sincerity leads only to more happiness and freedom fom the New World Order.
A wise man learns from his mistakes. An even wiser man learns from the mistakes of others.
Lacks the energy and pace of his earlier years but still a lovely echo of old Dublin.
Great stuff
Does anyone know what the guy in the crowd shouts out?
Ladies of dubious, impermanent, and expensive affection
Miss you Ronnie :( Greetings from Istanbul.
bigger than a legend RIP
Menacing, when he addresses the heckler - he's clearly had a few whiskys
do fck off troll
What did Simon say Rob? ya short fused Bowsie. Have a little one and take a sleep before you throw a tantrum.
X
that is your opinion bit ch
Absolute gem of a clip.
can anyone write here what Ronnie says in the whole story? I love him a lot but can barely understand what he says...
He really is rather hard to understand for non-Irish listeners... I don't catch every word correctly, either, but that's about it: When the guy in the audience shouts, he says they'd normally deal very roughly with that guy in a public house. And when everyone laughs, he adds, and that guy would give a witty answer, like "last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in" or something. Then he tells the audience to shut up, and starts to tell the story again. Which is, back before credit cards, you had to pay cash for things, especially when dealing with the ladies who sold things you can't buy in a shop. Well, can now, probably, but couldn't then. Then he changes subjects slightly, and goes on about courts and judges. The judges were British, and everybody brought before them, always said that they don't recognize the court on political grounds, or something like that. They were very convivial judges - convivial being another word for piss artist. So they came back from a very convivial weekend just before they had to deal with one of these ladies, and the judge talking to her wanted to shorten things so he could go and find a cure (i.e. another drink), so he asked her "Do you recognize this court?" and she answered "Yes, every single one of them, yer honour".
The one and only DUBLINERS. God Bless Them All. Ronnie Drew a MAGIC voice.
Seamus McCaffrey ottimo
No No No he and Luke kelly they werde the best
0:57 "Pocket-pussy" prediction 12 yrs before it was invented lol

Ronnie has the voice like the mating call of a rusty file! God bless you and the boys ( including George R R Martin on banjo!!)
@Pat Diamond he really does look like George rr Martin !
Who is George R R Martin? I've never heard of him?
X
@23Seana he is an American writer who looks like Barney McKenna
Thank you TrueBlueEG8
Xx
Is that George R.R. Martin playing the banjo on the left?
+bigTinthehouse1 lol, his name's Barney McKenna
Marc Steffens- There were only four guitars my friend and one Banjo. ALL playing in harmony with the audience. I was lucky enough to have seen them play live a number of times and God Bless them all. xxx
+Linda Knowles what? There are 5 guitars!
+Jack Carter

Don't piss Ronnie Drew off LOL
Bart Springer - Arschloch
It would be very rude to piss off such a Dublin legend as Ronnie Drew
Bart Springer My uncle Dano RIP had a little run in with Ronnie. Dano was a culchie but lived in Dublin for years had a strong personality like Ronnie RIP. Neither of them gave way
Bart Springer I agree
Ronnie was known to be quite grumpy and short tempered but all and all he was a Dublin Legend
Rest in peace Ronnie drew god bless you
Let's leave 'God" whoever that is, out of this
26 piss artist, english "judges" disliked dis here story. God rest ye Ronnie!
