Lyrics

Rum diddle diddle, Diddle rum diddle-aye
The whiskey’s gone and the kegs run dry
Rum diddle diddle, Diddle rum diddle-ee
Just grab your gal and come dance with me.
Rum diddle diddle, diddle rum diddle-aye
The whiskey’s gone and the kegs run dry
Rum diddle diddle on the eastern shore
Now grab your gal, now come dance some more
In Dublin town when the Vikings called
Rum diddle diddle can you hear the call? 841 was the Viking year
Rum diddle diddle may we have no fear
When duty calls hear the battle cry
Rum diddle diddle on the eastern side
In Dublin town where they stormed the shore
Rum diddle diddle shackled up the poor
Profiteering on Irish kin
Rum diddle diddle may we not give in Chained and beaten, battered, torn
Rum diddle diddle carry on, oh Lord
Slave trades become commonplace
Rum diddle diddle ’twas the Viking way
Families ripped and spirits scorned
Rum diddle diddle carry on, oh Lord
Shackles chime to the old drum beat
Rum diddle diddle best get on your feet
Pray to the heavens, gonna save your soul
Rum diddle diddle from the land were stole
Whiskey streams to break these chains
Rum diddle diddle best be on my way
Stories told to carry the tale
Rum diddle diddle ’tis the Irish wail
All right boys!
Grab your boards!
Batten up the doors and tear up the floorboards.
Put that dirty slapper down and grab your swords!
If we don’t act fast, we’ll be lost in the past
In Dublin town when the Vikings called
Rum diddle diddle can you hear the call? 841 was the Viking year
Rum diddle diddle may we have no fear
When duty calls and the battle cry
Rum diddle diddle on the eastern side
In Dublin town when they stormed the shore
Rum diddle diddle shackled up the poor
