Lyrics
Poor oul Dicey Riley,
She has taken to the sup,
Poor oul Dicey Riley,
She will never give it up.
It’s off each morning to the pop,
Then she goes for a little drop.
For the heart of the roll is Dicey Riley.

She’ll walk along Fitzgibbon Street
With an independent air,
Then it’s down by Summerhill
And see the people stare.
She’ll say it’s nearly half past one,
So I’ll go in for another one.
For the heart of the roll is Dicey Riley.

Long years ago when men were man
And fancied May Oblong,
Or lovely Becky Cooper or Maggie Mary Wong,
One woman put them all to shame,
Juist one was worthy of the name,
And the name of that same was Dicey Riley.

But time went catchin’ up on her
Like many pretty whores,
It’s after yeh along the street
Before yer out the door.
The balance weighed their looks all fade,
But out of all that great brigade,
Still the heart of the roll is Dicey Riley.
