DUBLIN TAKE ME
(Rab Noakes)

If you're goin' back to Dublin, take me.
On a night like this, there's nowhere else I'd rather be.
Just pick me up and carry me across the Irish Sea.
If you're goin' back to Dublin, take me.

If I can't make it, please take my regards
To Sweeny O'Donagh, my good friend down in Rathgar.
Keep a clean nose for the customs man and a big smile for the Guards.
If I can't make it, please take my regards.

CHORUS: Sunny days in the Wicklow Mountains, and music on Merrion Row,
Rainy nights in the Gresham Hotel, O Lord, I gotta, I gotta go.

I'll meet you under the arch in Trinity around about eight
And if it don't rain I'll be waiting outside of the gate.
We can go to O'Neill's and talk all night and tomorrow when heaven can wait,
I'll meet you under the arch in Trinity around about eight. CHORUS

If you're goin' back to Dublin, take me.
On a night like this, there's nowhere else I'd rather be.
Just pick me up and carry me across the Irish Sea.
If you're goin' back to Dublin, take me. CHORUS

If you're goin' back to Dublin, I said, if you're goin' back to Dublin,
If you're goin' back to Dublin, take me, take me, take me.
