lyrics

Did your mammy or your daddy ever pat you on the head and say “Child, you don't know what you're worth”?
They said to me “Have manners and you'll never wan't for friends, 'cause manners is the grandest thing on earth.”

They said they's take me further than my money ever could and that for want of things I'd never fret.
But now I certainly knows enough to see that talk is cheap, 'cause now there's things I want that I can't get.

That ain't nothin' but talk, talk. That ain't nothin' but talk.
Without a doubt I done found out that the old folks don't know what they're talkin' about.
That ain't nothin' but talk, talk. That ain't nothin' but talk.
They'll tell you this and that 'til you don't know where you're at. That ain't nothin' but talk.

Once a fortune teller said to me “Just let me see your hand, there's a line there that shows prosperity.”
He said “You've got a rich old uncle livin' in the south who's gwanna will to you his property.”

Well it's true I got an uncle but he never owned a thing, that fortune teller had an awful gall
to sit and tell me what I'd get from poor old uncle Ned when he's just barely livin' and that's all.

That ain't nothin' but talk, talk. That ain't nothin' but talk.
Without a doubt I done found out that the old folks don't know what they're talkin' about.
That ain't nothin' but talk, talk. That ain't nothin' but talk.
They'll tell you this and that 'til you don't know where you're at. That ain't nothin' but talk.

The Dublin City Rounders Dublin, Ireland

If The Dublin City Rounders were a dog it would be a pink bulldog with a cowboy hat, a studded leather collar and sporting a sleeveless denim jacket.

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
