    It’s amazing that Pete (RIP) was never more well known as he wrote so many famous and classic Irish songs. I wouldn’t even recognise his face but I suppose he was humble and never chased fame. Thank you Pete and rest easy x

    [Verse 1]
    Raised on songs and stories, heroes of renown
    The passing tales and glories that once was Dublin Town
    The hallowed halls and houses, the haunting children's rhymes
    That once was part of Dublin, in the rare ould times
    [Chorus]
    Ring a ring a rosey, as the light declines
    I remember Dublin City in the rare ould times
    [Verse 2]
    Well, me name, it is Sean Dempsey
    As Dublin as can be
    Born hard and late in Pimlico
    In a house that ceased to be
    My trade, I was a cooper
    Lost out to redundancy
    Like my house that fell to progress
    My trade's a memory
    [Verse 3]
    Well, I courted Peggy Dignam
    As pretty as you please
    A rogue child of Mary
    From the rebel liberties
    I lost her to a student chap
    With skin as black as coal
    When he took her off to Birmingham
    Well, she took away my soul
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 4]
    Well, the years have made me bitter
    The gargle dims me brain
    Cause Dublin keeps on changing
    And nothing seems the same
    The Pillar and the Met have gone
    The Royal long since pulled down
    As the grey, unyielding concrete
    Makes a city of my town
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 5]
    Fare thee well, sweet Anna Liffey
    I can no longer stay
    And watch the new glass cages
    That spring up along the quay
    My mind's too full of memories
    Too old to hear new chimes
    I'm part of what was Dublin
    In the rare ould times
    croatia
