Tom: Dm
Dm
I am a young fellow that's easy and bold,
C Am
In Castletown Corners I'm very well known;
Dm
In Newcastle West I spent many a note
C Am Dm
With Kitty and Jenny and Mary.
[Verse 2]
Dm
My parents rebuked me for being such a rake
C Am
And spending my time in such frolicsome ways,
Dm
But I ne've could forget the good nature of Jane,
C Am Dm
Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se.
[Verse 3]
Dm
There's some say I'm foolish, there's more say I'm wise,
C Am
For love of the women I'm sure 'tis no crime;
Dm
For the son of King David had ten thousand wives
C Am Dm
And his wisdom is highly regarded.
[Verse 4]
Dm
If I chance for to go to the town of Rathkeel,
C Am
The girls all around me do flock on the square,
Dm
Some give me a bottle and others sweetcakes,
C Am Dm
To treat me unknown to their parents,
[Verse 5]
Dm
There's one from Askeaton and one from the Pyke,
C Am
And another from Ardour, my heart was beguiled,
Dm
And being from the mountains, her stockings were white,
C Am Dm
Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se.
[Verse 6]
Dm
John Damer of Shronel had plenty of gold
C Am
And Devonshire's treasure was twenty times more,
Dm
But he's laid on his back among nettles and stones,
C Am Dm
Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se.
[Verse 7]
Dm
And when I'm on my back and I'm laid to rest
C Am
The women will crowd for to cry at my wake,
Dm
And their sons and their daughters will utter their prayers
C Am Dm
To the Lord for the sake of their father.
