[Verse]
To the city of our fathers, where friend and foe had gathered,
Where the Norman, Dane and Saxon have mingled with the Gael
Administered the Kingdom but soon the Pale was reeling,
To cradle Irish freedom in dear old Dublin town.

[Chorus]
Fare thee well until we meet again, down by the Liffey Water,
I'll bid farewell to Dublin and her streets of cobblestones,
I'm going away to leave you, me friends and all the girls too,
Till I return to see you, farewell old Dublin town.

[Verse]
How, her poets, they were many, her writers, they were plenty,
There was Swift with all his little folk and Joyce and Molly Bloom,
Her characters an unsung gang, there's forty coats and old bang bang,
And Zozimus who always sang of dear old Dublin town.

[Chorus]
Fare thee well until we meet again, down by the Liffey Water,
I'll bid farewell to Dublin and her streets of cobblestones,
I'm going away to leave you, me friends and all the girls too,
Till I return to see you, farewell old Dublin town.

[Verse]
I remember in my childhood, your mountains and your wild wood,
I heard about your heroes in the classroom as a boy,
Of Thomas Street where Emmet died, in Sackville place they fought with pride,
Of the times when brave Wolfe Tone did ride in dear old Dublin town.

[Chorus]
Fare thee well until we meet again, down by the Liffey Water,
I'll bid farewell to Dublin and her streets of cobblestones,
I'm going away to leave you, me friends and all the girls too,
Till I return to see you, farewell old Dublin town.
