lyrics

Stringing our guitars, stringing our banjos we are the rockin' commandos.
Singing that chorus, get me to the bridge, there ain't no pussies on Heartbreak ridge.

Got no time to take in the scenery, too busy double checking the machinery.
Shine them boots, eat that grub. Bag it, tag it, get it to the pub.

Women come and women go, my true love is a rock n roll.
I break more hearts than I break strings, I've played for fools and I've played for kings.

1 and 2 and 3 and 4, get your ass on the dance floor.
5 and 6 and 7 and 8, we'll rock your soul from 8 till late.

Tear it down, put it in the truck, count that money if we made a good buck.
Mission over better get some rest, knowing that we done our best.

My heart is hard and my eyes are cold, my back is strong and my soul is sold,
To the highest bidder on the road of gold. When you come across me you better show or fold.

1 and 2 and 3 and 4, cowboy boogie, gimme some more.
5 and 6 and 7 and 8, minstrel, vaudeville, sincopate.

Well I don't know but I been told, Rounders' music is mighty old.
From Hear Dem Bells to Ragtime Joe, honky tonk and rock n roll.

There's Al Quiffs he's a bassinator, got a heart like a fridgerator.
Slapping like he's squashin' flies on a wall, machine gun rhythm rockin ' that hall.

Cowboy Ro could sing the birds from the trees, or shout like a preacher down on his knees.
Swingin' that guitar like an M16, he's the best damn stylist you ever seen.

I'm gonna hump my heavy load, maybe I'll see you down the road.
Got no time to hang around, I start runnin' when I hit the ground.

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
