Limerick Rake - The Dubliners[00:00:01]

I am a young fellow that's easy and bold [00:00:03]

In Castletown conners I'm very well known [00:00:07]

In Newcastle West I spent many a note [00:00:10]

With Kitty and Judy and Mary [00:00:13]

My parents rebuked me for being such a rake [00:00:17]

And for spending my time in such frolicsome ways [00:00:20]

I ne'er could forget the good nature of Jane [00:00:23]

Agus fágaimíd siúd mar atá sé [00:00:26]

My parents had reared me to shake and to mow [00:00:30]

To plough and to harrow to reap and to sow [00:00:33]

Me heart being too airy to drop it so low [00:00:37]

I set out on high speculation [00:00:40]

On paper and parchment they taught me to write [00:00:43]

In euclid and grammar they opened my eyes [00:00:46]

And in multiplication in truth I was bright [00:00:50]

Agus fágaimíd siúd mar atá sé [00:00:53]

If You've chance for to go to the town of Rathkeale [00:00:56]

The girls all round me do flock on the square [00:00:59]

Now some offer me apples and others sweet cakes [00:01:03]

And treats me unknown to their parents [00:01:06]

There is one from Askeaton and one from the Pike [00:01:09]

And another from Arda my heart was beguiled [00:01:12]

Tho' being from the mountains her stockings are white [00:01:15]

And I'd love to be tightenin' her garters [00:01:19]

Now to quarrel for riches I ne'er was inclined [00:01:23]

For the greatest of misers must leave them behind [00:01:25]

But I'll purchase a cow that will never run dry [00:01:29]

And I'll milk her by twisting her horn [00:01:32]

John Damer of Shronel had plenty of gold [00:01:35]

And Lord Devonshire's treasure is twenty times more [00:01:38]

But should'em laid on their back among nettles and stones [00:01:42]

Agus fágaimíd siúd mar atá sé [00:01:46]

This old cow can be milked without clover or grass [00:01:49]

She's be pampered with corn sweet corn and hops [00:01:52]

She'll be warm s he'll be stout she'll be free in her paps [00:01:56]

And she'll milk without spancil or halter [00:02:00]

And the man that will drink it will cock his caubeen [00:02:03]

And if anyone laughs well have be wigs on the green [00:02:06]

And the feeble old hag will get supple and free [00:02:09]

Agus fágaimíd siúd mar atá sé [00:02:12]

There's some say I'm foolish and more say I'm wise [00:02:16]

But being fond of the women I think is no crime [00:02:19]

Sure the son of King David had ten hundred wives [00:02:23]

And his wisdom was highly regarded [00:02:27]

I'll take a good garden and live at my ease [00:02:29]

And each woman and child could partake of the same [00:02:33]

If there be war in the cabin themselves they could blame [00:02:37]

Agus fágaimíd siúd mar atá sé [00:02:40]

But now for the future I think I'll get wise [00:02:43]

And I'll marry all those women who acted so kind [00:02:47]

Aye I'll marry them all on the morrow by and by [00:02:50]

If the clergy agreed to the bargain [00:02:54]

And when I'll be old and my soul be at rest [00:02:57]

All those children and wives they could cry at my wake [00:03:00]

And they all gathers round and they offers their prayers [00:03:04]

To the Lord for the soul of their father[00:03:07]
