Lyrics

[Verse 1] I am a young fellow that's easy and bold In Castletown Conner I'm very well-known In Newcastle West I spent many a night With Kitty and Judy and Mary [Verse 2] My parents rebuked me for being such a rake And for spending my time in such frolicsome ways But I ne'er could forget the good nature of Jenny Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se [Verse 3] There's some say I'm foolish, there's some say I'm wise And I find that there are women that think its no crime The son of King David had ten thousand wives And his wisdom was highly regarded [Verse 4] In Euclid and grammar, they taught me to write But my heart, it was stolen by a pair of brown thighs That came from the mountains, her stockings are white I'd love to be tied to her garter [Verse 5] And some you'll fuss over and some you'll forego In dear Devonshire treasures are twenty times more But he's lying on his back amongst nettles and stones Agus fagaimid mar a ata se [Verse 6] And when I am dead and I'm laid to my rest My women and children will keen at my wake They'll gather around and they'll offer a prayer To the Lord for the soul of their father
