The Rake - The Irish Rovers[00:00:00]

I am a young fellow from the County Tyrone[00:00:14]

In the town of Strabane shur I'm very well known[00:00:18]

For down to the alehouse I'm frequently goin'[00:00:22]

With Kitty and Ginny and Mary[00:00:25]

My father rebuked me for being such a rake[00:00:29]

And for spending me money on whiskey and cakes[00:00:32]

But the lassies are sweet and it's all for their sakes[00:00:36]

And it keeps me lighthearted and merry[00:00:40]

I'll eat when I'm hungry I'll drink when I'm dry[00:00:43]

I will court all the lassies or at least I will try[00:00:47]

And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die[00:00:50]

Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se[00:00:54]

If I chance for to wander on down to the fair[00:01:01]

All the lassies all around me do flock on the square[00:01:05]

I'll pull out me fiddle and play an auld air[00:01:09]

And soon we're all off on the spree[00:01:12]

There's Peggy and Jane from the banks of Loch Nee[00:01:16]

There's Kitty and Molly down Dungannon Way[00:01:19]

And there's another one from Cookstown who makes me head sway[00:01:23]

Such a fuss they all make over me[00:01:26]

I'll eat when I'm hungry I'll drink when I'm dry[00:01:30]

I will court all the lassies or at least I will try[00:01:34]

And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die[00:01:37]

Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se[00:01:41]

To quarrel for riches I ne'er was inclined[00:01:48]

For the greatest of misers must leave them behind[00:01:52]

So me money I spend with no thought in me mind[00:01:55]

But to kick up our heels and carrouse[00:01:59]

For the rich never spend any gold of their own[00:02:03]

Sure they hold it away like a dog and it's bone[00:02:06]

But they end on their back among nettles and stones[00:02:10]

And I hear there're no pockets in shrouds[00:02:14]

I'll eat when I'm hungry I'll drink when I'm dry[00:02:17]

I will court all the lassies or at least I will try[00:02:21]

And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die[00:02:24]

Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se[00:02:28]

Now some say I'm foolish and some say I'm wise[00:03:01]

For loving the women and the whiskey like wives[00:03:04]

But the son of King David had ten hundred wives[00:03:08]

And his wisdom was highly regarded[00:03:11]

So I'll call for the lassies and ask them to wed[00:03:15]

And we'll all be content in the one marriage bed[00:03:18]

While the rich count their gold[00:03:22]

We'll count children instead[00:03:24]

And we'll raise them up true and stout-hearted[00:03:26]

I'll eat when I'm hungry I'll drink when I'm dry[00:03:29]

I will court all the lassies or at least I will try[00:03:33]

And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die[00:03:37]

Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se[00:03:40]

Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se[00:03:44]
