Poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup Poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up For it's off each morning to the hock. And she nips in for another little drop Ah the heart to the rule is Dicey Reilly.
She walks along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air And then it's down to Summerhill, at her the people stare She says it's nearly half past one So she'll nip in for another little one Ah the heart to the rule is Dicey Reilly.
