This is a splendid rousing Irish song praising Missus Rocket and her pub an establishment which outshines the Vatican, Buckingham Palace, the Taj Mahal and all the palaces in Siam. You have never lived, as the song goes, until you've been to Rockett's Pub.
Mrs. Rockett was an actual person who ran her pub near Tranmore, County Waterford and was often visited by Tommey Maken of
The Clancy Brothers.
The song may be found in
The Irish Songbook and
We're Only Here For The Beer! - Light.
