    These blokes could make a traditional song sound like they wrote it, or write an original that seemed like it had been around for centuries. Hands down one of the very best bands ever

      Haha yeah, at first I thought "Streams of Whiskey" and "Boys from the County Hell" were traditional songs. The Pogues were great interpreters of other peoples songs too. Just a great band all around.

    Shane sings 503 words in this song in 2 miutes 13 seconds (lyrics start at 1:00 in the song).
    226 words per minute, 3.77 words per second.
    All from a man who abused his body beyond the comprehension of most human beings, basically he shouldn't be alive today.
    Simply amazing.

    Lyrics:
    Twas in the merry month of June from me home I started
    Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted
    Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
    Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
    Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born
    Cut the stout black thorn to be on the shores to Dublin
    Brand new pair of brogues rattlin' o'er the bogs
    Fightin' all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah!
    In Mullingar that night I rested tired and weary
    Left the room next morning feeling bright and airy
    Had a drop of the pure to keep me heart from sinking
    That's a Paddy's cure whene'er he's on the drinking
    See the lassies smile, laughing all the while
    At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
    Asked me was I hired, wages I required
    Till I was sick and tired of the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah!
    In Dublin next arrived I thought it such a pity
    To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
    When I took a stroll all among the quality
    Me bundle it was stole in the neat locality
    Something crossed me mind when I looked behind
    No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
    Asking for the rogue, they called me Connaught brogue
    Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah!
    From there I got away, me spirits never failing
    Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing
    The Captain at me roared that no more room had he
    When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
    Down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs
    Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubblin'
    When off Holyhead wished that I was dead
    Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the way to Dublin, whack follol de rah!
    The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
    Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
    Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
    Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
    "Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly
    Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobblin'
    With a loud "hurray!" joined in the affray
    Quietly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down
    The rocky road and all the way to Dublin
    Whack follol de rah!

      It's easy enough to count it in triple meter. The problem is that it's a 4+3 right before each chorus, which is what's throwing you off. "On the Rocky Road to Dublin" + "One-two three-four five"

    While in the merry month of May, now from me home I started
    Left, the girls of Tuam were nearly broken-hearted
    Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother
    Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother
    Then off to reap the corn and leave where I was born
    Cut a stout, black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins
    A brand-new pair of brogues to rattle over the bogs
    And frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin
    A-one, two, three, four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
    In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
    Started by daylight next morning blithe and early
    Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from shrinking
    Thats the Paddy's cure when'er he's on for drinking
    To hear the lassies smile, laughing all the while
    At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'
    They asked me was I hired and wages I required to lay
    Was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three, four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
    In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
    To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
    So then I took a stroll, all among the quality
    Bundle it was stolen, in a neat locality
    Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
    No bundle could I find upon me stick a-wobblin'
    'Quiring after the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
    It wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
    From there I got away, me spirits never falling
    Landed on the quay, just 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, did some hearty rigs
    I played some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
    When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead
    Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah
    The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
    Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
    Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
    Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing
    "Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly
    Galway boys were by and saw I was a hobblin'
    With a "lo!" and "hurray!" they joined in the affray
    Quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin
    One, two, three four, five
    Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
    And all the ways to Dublin, whack, follol de-dah

    Shane is intelligent and engaging even when drunker than most of us could ever get; have a look at some of his interviews.
    He also took playing the beer tray to a new level.
