Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rocky Road to Dublin 7 verses
Many years ago Pete Nalder gave me the second verse which he had, he said, "got from somewhere". It's very close to the second verse in the 01 Mar 23 - 08:17 AM post except for the second half of line 6: "it set me to a hobblin'" -- which makes better sense than "it set my heart a-bubbling" which was perhaps mistakenly copied from the next verse.

I think also verse 1, line 2, should refer to the girls of Tuam.
