Dublin Jack Of All Trades is a difficult song to sing naming as it does over 50 place-names in Dublin and over 50 trades that 'Jack' tried out. I do not know Dublin, but would imagine that he tried to work in practically every place possible in the city.
The Dubliners used this song on one of their albums, but had to abridge it as it is so long.
It took me a few goes to get this as it turns into a bit of a tongue-twister after a while, but here goes. Hope you like it.
By the way, I suspect that in the last verse, there was a typo and the trade at Denzille Street should have been a gilder not a glider, but I only realised this when I was copying out the annotations.
