What force or guile could not subdue
Thro’ many warlike ages

For hireling traitor’s wages.
The English steel we could disdain,
Secure in valour’s station;
But English gold has been our bane —
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
3.
O, would, or I had seen the day
That Treason thus could sell us,
My auld grey head had lien in clay
Wi’ Bruce and loyal Wallace!
But pith and power, till my last hour
I’ll mak this declaration :-
‘We’re bought and sold for English gold’—
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!

Lookin’ for a moonshine still.
Strangers ain’t come back from rocky top,
Guess they never will.

Corn won’t grow at all on rocky top,
Dirt’s too rocky by far.
That’s why all the folks on rocky top
Get their corn from a jar.

Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top Tennessee, rocky top Tennessee.

Now I’ve had years of cramped up city life,
Trapped like a duck in a pen.
Now all I know is it’s a pity life
Can’t be simple again.

Rocky top, you’ll always be
Home sweet home to me.
Good ole rocky top,
Rocky top Tennessee, rocky top Tennessee.

In the merry month of May from my home I started
6 6 -5 -4 -3 -4 3 3 -3 -4 4 -5
Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken-hearted
6 6 -5 -4 -3 2 -3 -3 -3 -4 4 -5
Saluted Father dear, kissed my darlin’ Mother
6 6 -5 -4 -3 4 -4 3 3 -3 -4 4 -5
Drank a pint of beer my grief and tears to smother
6 -7 -7 -6* 7 6 6 -7 -7 -6* 7
Then off to reap the corn, and leave where I was born
-5 6 -7 -7 -6* 7 6 -5 -4 3 -3 -4 4 -5
I cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghost and goblin,
6 -7 -7 -6* 7 6 6 -7 -7 -6* 7
In a bran’new pair of brogues I rattled o’er the bogs
-5 6 -7 -7 -6* 7 6 -5 -4 3 -3 -4 4 -5
And frightened all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin,

6 6 -5 -4 -3 2 -3 -3 -4 4 -5
One, two, three, four five, hunt the hare and turn her
6 6 -5 -4 -3 -4 3 3 -3 -4 4 -5
Down the rocky roaad, and all the ways to Dublin
6 6 -5 -4 -3
Whack fol-lol-de-ra.

In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight next morning light and airy,
Took a drop of the pure, to keep my heart from sinking,
That’s an frishman’s cure, whene’er he’s on for drinking,
To see the lasses smile, laughing all the while,
At my curious style, ‘twould set your heart a-bubbling,
They ax’d if I was hired, the wages I required,
Till I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.

In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity,
To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city,
Then I took a stroll out among the quality,
My bundle it was stole in a neat locality;
Something crossed my mind, then I looked behind,
No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin’,
Enquiring for the rogue, they said my Connaught brogue
Wasn’t much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin.

From there I got away my spirits never failing,
Landed on the quay as the ship was sailing,
Captain at me roared, said that no room had he,
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, I played some funny rigs
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubblin’
When off to Holyhead I wished myself was dead,
Or better far, instead, on the rocky road to Dublin.

The bovs of Liverpool, when we safely landed,
Called myself a fool, I could no longer stand it;
Blood began to boil, temper I was losin’
Poor old Erin’s isle they began abusin’
«Hurrah my soul!» sez I, my shillelagh I let fly,
Some Galway boys were by, saw I was a hobble in,
Then with a loud Hurrah, they joined in the affray,
We quickly cleared the way, for the rocky road to Dublin.

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye, Rocky did`nt like that
He said «I`m gonna get that boy»
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

But every-one knew her as Nancy

Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in grinning a grin he said, «Danny
boy, this is a showdown!»
But Daniel was hot he drew first and shot, and
Rocky collapsed in the corner

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin and
proceeded to lie on the table
He said «Rocky you met your match» And Rocky said
«Doc it`s only a scratch, and I`ll be better,I`ll
be better Doc, as soon as I am able»

Now Rocky Raccoon fell back in his room only to
find Gideon`s Bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt to
help with good Rocky`s revival

It’s a bitch, if you don’t believe
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
Listen up to my new CD
5 4
Sham-on

I got shit running through my brain
So intense that I can’t explain
All alone in my white-boy pain
Shake your booty while the band complains

5 5 -4 4 -4 4
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
4 4 -4 5 -4 4 4
Just like Michael Jackson did
5 5 -4 4 -4 4
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
5 5 4 -4 5 -4 4 4
Except that he was talented
5 5 -4 4 -4 -4
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4
I take the checks and face the facts
5 5 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4 -3”
That some producer with computers
4 -4 -5 5 5 -4 4
fixes all my shitty tracks

I’m pissed off but I’m too polite
When people break in the McDonald’s line
Mom and Dad you made me so uptight
I’m gonna cuss on the mic tonight
5 5 -5 5 -4 5 4
I don’t know how much I can take
5 5 5 -5 5 -4 5 4
Girl, give me something I can break

I’m rockin’ the suburbs
Just like Quiet Riot did
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
Except that they were talented
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
I take the checks and face the facts
That some producer with computers
fixes all my shitty tracks

4 -4 5 5 5
In a haze these days
-4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4
I pull up to the stop light
-4 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4
I can feel that something’s not right
-4 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 4
I can feel that someone’s blasting me
-5 5 -4 5
with hate and bass
4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 -4
Sendin’ dirty vibes my way
4 -4 5 5 5 5 5 -4
‘Cause my great great great great Grandad
4 -4 5 5 5 5 5 -4 4 -4
Made someone’s great great great great Grandaddy slaves
4 -4 5 -4 4 -4 4
It wasn’t my idea
5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 4
It never was my idea
5 -4 -4 4 -4
I just drove to the store
4 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5
For some Preparation-H

Y’all don’t know what it’s like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y’all don’t know what it’s like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y’all don’t know what it’s like
Being male, middle-class and white

It gets me real pissed off, it makes me wanna say
Fuck!

Just like Jon Bon Jovi did
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
I take the checks and face the facts
That some producer with computers
fixes all my shitty tracks
-4 4
these days
5 5 -4
Yeah yeah
-4 -4 4 4 -4 4
I’m rockin’ the suburbs
5 5 -4
Yeah yeah

You’d better look out, because I’m gonna say ‘Fuck’
You’d better look out, because I’m gonna say ‘Fuck’
You’d better look out, because I’m gonna say ‘Fuck’
You’d better look out, because I’m gonna say ‘Fuck’

A pretty little raven at the bird bandstand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
He started goin’ steady and bless my soul
He out bopped the buzzard and the oriole

He rocks in the tree-top all a day long
Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and a-singin’ the song
All the little birds on J-Bird Street.

Blow rockin’ robin cause your really gonna rock tonight
