Chorus Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up For it’s off each morning to the pub And then she’s in for another little drop For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up For it’s off each morning to the pub And then she’s in for another little drop For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Verse 1 Oh she walks along Fitzgibbon street with an independent air And then it’s down be Summerhill and as the people stare She says it’s nearly half past one and it’s time I had another little one Ah the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Chorus Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up For it’s off each morning to the pub And then she’s in for another little drop For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Verse 2 Long years ago when men were men and fancied May Oblong Or lovely Beckie Cooper or Maggie’s Mary Wong One woman put them all to shame just one was worthy of the name And the name of the dame was Dicey Reilly Chorus Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up For it’s off each morning to the pub And then she’s in for another little drop For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Verse 3 Oh but time went catching up on her like many pretty whores And it’s after you along the street before you’re out the door The looks all fade and the balance weighed but out of all that great brigade Still the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Chorus Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up For it’s off each morning to the pub And then she’s in for another little drop For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up For it’s off each morning to the pub And then she’s in for another little drop For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
