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
Oh the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly.
She owns a little sweet shop at the corner of the street,
And every evening after school I go to wash her feet
She leaves me there to mind the shop
While she nips in for another little drop
Oh the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly.
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 that dame was Dicey Reilly.
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 doors,
The balance weighed and the looks all fade, but out of all that great brigade,
Still the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly.
