Today, upon a bus, I saw a very beautiful woman and wished I were as beautiful. When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle. She had one leg and used a crutch.

I talked with him, he seemed so glad. If I were late, it'd do no harm. And as I left, he said to me, "I thank you, you've been so kind.  It's nice to talk with folks like you.  You see," he said, "I'm blind."  Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.  I have two eyes; the world is mine. Later while walking down the street, I saw a child I knew. He stood and watched the others play, but he did not know what to do. I stopped a moment and then I said, Why don't you join them dear?" He looked ahead without a word. I forgot, he couldn't hear. Oh, God, forgive me when I whine. I have two ears; the worl...

[Chorus:] Ring a ring a rosie, as the light declines I'll remember Dublin city, in the rare ould times Raised on songs & stories, heroes of renown The passing tales & glories, that once was Dublin town The hallowed halls & houses, the haunting childrens' rhymes That once was Dublin city, in the rare ould times [Chorus] My name it is Sean Dempsey, as Dublin as could be Born hard & late in Pimlico, in a house that's ceased to be By trade I was a cooper, lost out to redundancy Like my house that fell to progress, my trade's a memory & I courted Peggy Dignan, as pretty as you please A rogue & a child of Mary, from the rebel Liberties I lost her to a student chap, with a skin as black as coal When he took her off to Birmingham, she took away my soul [Chorus] The years have made me bitter, the gargle dims me brain Cause Dublin keeps on changing, & nothing seems the same The Pillar & the Met have gone, the Royal long since pulled down As the gre...
