“The Rocky Road to Dublin” is a traditional Irish folk song about an Irishman’s travels from Taum in Country Galway to Liverpool. In a highly energetic and fast-paced tune, it recounts the adventures and trials the man experienced along the way, including robbers and the liveliness of city life. While the origins of this song are unknown, it is thought to have been created in the mid-19th century. The song reflects the experiences of Irish immigrants who fled their homes during the mass immigration caused by the great famine.
