This is one can be considered a much older song for the MGE universe, but it was inspired by the Rocky Road to Dublin, so I couldn't resist.

In the merry month of June, from my home I started, Left the girls back home, nearly broken hearted, Saluted father dear, kissed me darlin' mother, Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother, Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born, Sharpened all me blades, to fight off trolls and goblins, A brand new pair of boots, rattlin' o'er the bogs, Frightenin' all the dogs, on the lonely road I'm walkin'.

One, two, three, four five, Hunt the hare and turn her Down this lonely road No idea where I'm goin', Down this lonely road.

In Lescatie that night, I rested limbs so weary, Started by daylight, my spirits bright and airy, Took a drop of the pure, keep me heart from sinkin', That's the loner's cure, whenever he's on for drinking. To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while, At my curious style, 'twould set your heart a-bubblin'. And asked if I was hired, wages I required, till I was nearly tired, Of the lonely road I'm walkin'.

One, two, three, four five, Hunt the hare and turn her Down this rocky road No idea where I'm goin', Down this lonely road.

In Palove next arrived, I thought it such a pity, To be so soon deprived, a view of that fine city. Well then I took a stroll, all among the quality, Bundle it was stole, all in the neat locality; Something crossed my mind - when I looked behind, No bundle could I find, upon me stick a wobblin'. Enquirin' for the rogue, said me Human form, Wasn't much in vogue, on this lonely road I'm travelin'.

One, two, three, four five, Hunt the hare and turn her Down this lonely road No idea where I'm goin', Down this lonely road.

From there I got away, me spirits never failin' Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailin'; The captain at me roared, said that no room had he, When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for me. Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs, Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubblin', When off to Demon's Land, wished that I was dead, Or better far instead, on this lonely road I'm travelin'.

One, two, three, four five, Hunt the hare and turn her Down this lonely road No idea where I'm goin', Down this lonely road.

The boys of the Order, when we safely landed, Called myself a fool; I could no longer stand it; Blood began to boil, temper I was losin', Poor old loner's style, they began abusin', "Hurrah my soul," says I, my fury I let fly; Outcast boys were nigh,  and saw I was a hobblin, With a loud hurray, they joined in the affray. We quickly cleared the way, for this lonely road I'm walkin'.

One, two, three, four five, Hunt the hare and turn her Down this lonely road No idea where I'm goin', Down this lonely road.

One, two, three, four five, Hunt the hare and turn her Down this lonely road No idea where I'm goin', Down this lonely road.
