Verse 1
I (A minor) am (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (E minor) (A minor) (C major) (F major) (C major) (E minor) (A minor) a young fellow,
but (C major) sassy and (F major) bold,
In (C major) Castletown (G major) commerce
I'm very well (E minor) known.
In (A minor) Newcastle West I spent (C major) money and (F major) nought,
Like Katie and (E major) Judy and (A minor) Mary.
My father re (F major) buked me
for be (C major) ing such a (E minor) wreck,
And spending wee (G major) time in
such colicsome (E minor) ways.
I (A minor) ne 'er can forget the
good (C major) nature of (F major) Jane
And it's (A minor) foggin' me tune,
what a posh shame
If I chance for to go to the
(C major) market of Crome
(F major) With a (C major) tit to (G major) me hat
and me pipes in (E minor) full tune
I'm made (A minor) welcome at once
and brought (C major) up to the Rome
(F major) Where (C major) Crackus is sport
(E major) ing with (A minor) Venus
There's Peggy and Jane
(F major) from the (C major) town of Pruir (E minor) ie
And (A minor) Biddy from Brough, (G major)
and we all on the spree
(E minor) Such a (A minor) homin' of luxe
there was (C major) about me, (F major)
Agus (C major) fagom g'meith siúth (E minor)
maith aghsé. (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
To quaddle for riches
I (C major) ne 'er was inclined, (F major)
For the (C major) greatest of (G major) misers
must leave them behind.
(E minor) I'll (A minor) purchase a cow
that will never (C major) run (F major) dry,
And I'll (C major) milk her by (E minor) twisting (E major) her horn. (A minor)
Don Laimer of (F major) Straunel had (C major) plenty of (E minor) gold,
And (A minor) Devonshire's (G major) treasurer
is twenty times (E minor) more
But he's (A minor) laid on his back
among nettles (C major) and stalls
(F major) And he's (C major) far from a maid (E minor) servant,
but (A minor) that's the (E minor) (A minor)
There, some say I'm foolish
and (C major) some say I'm (F major) wise
In (C major) Flanders, the women, (G minor)
(G major) I think, did no (E minor) crime
For the (A minor) son of King David
had (C major) ten hundred wives
(F major) And his wisdom was highly (C major) regarded
(A minor) I'll tell of a (F major) garden and (C major) live at my (E minor) age
And each (A minor) woman and (G major) child
can partake of the (E minor) same
If they (A minor) swore on the cabin
themselves (C major) they can blame
(F major) Christ (C major) father made (E minor) sure
of a cachet (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
And now for the fu (A minor) ture I mean to be (F major) wise
And I sen (G major) t for the women
who acted so (E minor) kind
And I'll (A minor) marry them all
and the mor (A minor) row (C major) bind (F major) by
If the (C major) clergy agree (E minor) (E major) to the (A minor) bargain
When the devil he (F major) comes my (C major) soul for to (E minor) take
All the (A minor) women will gather (G major) to cry in my wake
(E minor) And the (A minor) sons and their daughters
will (C major) offer their prayer (F major) s
To the Lord and the soul of their (A minor) father
