Dicey Riley

Dicey Riley
by ? (anonymous street ballad)

Chorus: Poor aul Dicey Riley she has taken to the sup
Poor aul Dicey Riley she will never give it up
It's off each morning to the hock and she drops in for another drop
Ah the heart of poor aul Dicey Riley

She walks along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air
And then it's down by Summerhill and the people stop and stare
She says it's nearly half past one and it's time I had another little one
Ah the heart of the rule is Dicey Riley!

(Chorus)
