Tune Notes
- From the Wikipedia entry for "Rocky Road to Dublin": "'Rocky Road to Dublin' is a fast-paced 19th century Irish song about a man's experiences as he travels to Liverpool, England from his home in Tuam. The tune has a typical Irish rhythm, classified as a slip jig and is often performed instrumentally. The song is partially recited several times by Mr. Deasy in James Joyce's Ulysses. The words were written by D.K. Gavan, 'The Galway Poet', for the English music hall performer Harry Clifton (1824-1872), who popularised the song."
