In the merry month of May, From my home I started,
Left the girls of Tuam, Nearly broken hearted,
Saluted father dear, Kissed my darlin' mother,
Drank a pint of beer, My grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, And leave where I was born,
I cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghost and goblin,
In a brand new pair of brogues, I rattled o'er the bogs,
And frightened all the dogs,On the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four five,
Hunt the hare and turn her
Down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin,
Whack-fol-lol-de-ra.
In Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight, Next mornin' light and airy,
Took a drop of the pure, To keep my heart from sinkin',
That's an Irishman's cure, Whene'er he's on for drinking.
To see the lasses smile, Laughing all the while,
At my curious style, 'Twould set your heart a-bubblin'.
They ax'd if I was hired, The wages I required,
Till I was almost tired, Of the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four five,
Hunt the hare and turn her
Down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin,
Whack-fol-lol-de-ra.
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity,
To be so soon deprived, A view of that fine city.
Then I took a stroll, All among the quality,
My bundle it was stole, In a neat locality;
Something crossed my mind, Then I looked behind;
No bundle could I find, Upon my stick a wobblin'.
Enquirin' for the rogue, They said my Connacht brogue,
Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four five,
Hunt the hare and turn her
Down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin,
Whack-fol-lol-de-ra.
From there I got away, My spirits never failin'
Landed on the quay As the ship was sailin';
Captain at me roared, Said that no room had he,
When I jumped aboard, A cabin found for Paddy,
Down among the pigs I played some funny rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin',
When off Holyhead, I wished myself was dead,
Or better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four five,
Hunt the hare and turn her
Down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin,
Whack-fol-lol-de-ra.
The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed,
Called myself a fool; I could no longer stand it;
Blood began to boil, Temper I was losin',
Poor ould Erin's isle They began abusin',
"Hurrah my soul," sez I, My shillelagh I let fly;
Some Galway boys were by, Saw I was a hobble in,
Then with a loud hurray, They joined in the affray.
We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin.
One, two, three, four five,
Hunt the hare and turn her
Down the rocky road
And all the ways to Dublin,
Whack-fol-lol-de-ra.

I have 2. A Black DSi and the Zelda DS Lite.
What? You are giving away a Zelda game with it? BLASPHEMY!
But, honestly it doesn't look like a bad deal. Guitar Hero: Decades W/frets, LOTR: Conquest, Phantom Hourglass, the GBA slot cover, and a DS Case for 40.00 even.
Gamestop carries all of that, but you'd be looking at well over $100.
Let's see here, at GameStop this would cost approx:
Refurb DS lite W/ stylus & Charger: 89.99
Guitar Hero Decades W/ Fret: 24.99
LOTR: Conquest : 14.99
Phantom Hourglass: 29.99
Case: 9.99
Total: 169.95
That is indeed a good deal. If I needed a DS, I'd jump on it.

ROTFLMAO! 😆
So Mandrag, kind of throwing this out of the blue here, but since you and I are both avid Zelda fans, what did you think of "Wind Waker" on the gamecube?
I ask this because of all the controversy that came with the game. Many thought the cell shaded look ruined the game and some think it's the worst in the Zelda franchise.
I actually liked WindWaker, alot. I thought that once you got used to the cartoon look, the game was extremely fun to play. I enjoyed the storylines, the twist "AKA Hyrule being covered in water" and of course I loved the music. haha
But anyway, just wanted to know what you thought of the game. I enjoyed it...in some ways, i would say it's right behind Ocarina of Time on my list. Twilight Princess was awesome too, I just felt like it was more of a remake to OOT, and I like OOT better.

It is my 4th favorite Zelda game. The Music, Story, Characters, and dialogue were all fantastic. The Cell-shaded graphics were good at some points (On the sea, and most of the bosses looked cool.) but just looked stupid at others (I.E. The Re-deads looking like zombie-clowns and Ganondorf being so fat and shiny.) And the long sea voyages with nothing to do got really boring after a while, especially when you were hunting the shards of the Triforce of Courage.
Some of my favorite Zelda quotes came from this game, the best in my opinion being:
My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose. It can only be called fate... That here. I would again gather the three with the crests... That I should lay my hand on that which grants the wishes of the beholder... That when power, wisdom, and courage come together, the gods would have no choice but to come down... The power of the gods... The Triforce! He who touches it will have whatever he desires granted! Already, the crest of wisdom is mine... All that remains...
[the crest of courage glows on the back of Link's hand]
The only thing I absolutely hated about that game was the annoying puppet Ganon battle. That battle just pissed me off.
