I am a young fellow from the County Tyrone In the town of Strabane shur I'm very well known For down to the alehouse I'm frequently goin' With Kitty and Ginny and Mary My father rebuked me for being such a rake And for spending me money on whiskey and cakes But the lassies are sweet and it's all for their sakes And it keeps me lighthearted and merry Chorus: I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry I will court all the lassies or at least I will try And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se If I chance for to wander on down to the fair All the lassies all around me do flock on the square I'll pull out me fiddle and play an auld air And soon we're all off on the spree There's Peggy and Jane from the banks of Loch Nee There's Kitty and Molly down Dungannon Way And there's another one from Cookstown who makes me head sway Such a fuss they all make over me Chorus To quarrel for riches I ne'er was inclined For the greatest of misers must leave them behind So me money I spend with no thought in me mind But to kick up our heels and carrouse For the rich never spend any gold of their own Sure they hold it away like a dog and it's bone But they end on their back among nettles and stones And I hear there're no pockets in shrouds Chorus (Instrumental) Now some say I'm foolish and some say I'm wise For loving the women and the whiskey likewise But the son of King David had ten hundred wives And his wisdom was highly regarded! So I'll call for the lassies and ask them to wed And we'll all be content in the one marriage bed While the rich count their gold we'll count children instead And we'll raise them up true and stout-hearted Chorus Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se!
Bonjour The Irish Rovers, Vous me rendez heureuse lorsque j`entends cette belle musique, c`est vraiment merveilleux de vous écouter. Suzanne Claveau ballerine, professeur de ballet contemporain et chorégraphe
But to kick up our heels and carouse. For the rich never spend any gold of their own. So they hold them away(?) like a dog and its bone. But they end on their backs among nettles and stones. And I hear there's no pockets in shrouds. *Chorus* Now some say I'm foolish. And some say I'm wise. For loving the women and the whiskey likewise. But the son of King of David had ten-hundred wives. And his wisdom was highly regarded. So I'll call for the lassies and ask them to wed.
I've made sheet music for this song, so if anyone wants to play it using notes or guitar chords, just tell me in comments. I did it because I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet..
If I chance for to wander on down to the fair, all the lassies all around me do flock on the square, I'd pull out me fiddle and I'd play an auld air (type of musical composition).
There's Peggy and Jane from the banks of Lough Neagh. There's kitty and molly down Dungannon way and theres another from Cookstown who makes me head sway.
I'm trying to find the chords, I think this is pretty accurate: Verses: Dm C F Bb F C Gm Am Dm C F Bb F Am Dm Dm Dm Bb F Am Dm C Gm Am Bb C Dm Bb F Am Dm Dm Chorus: Dm Bb F Am Dm C Gm Am Bb C Dm Bb F Am Dm Dm Bridge: F Am Gm Dm Rythm: / ///// ///// ///// /////...
And can't be condemned to one marriage bed. While the rich grow their gold I'll have children instead. I will raise them up true and stout hearted. *Chorus* This is one of the first comments I've ever made on RU-vid. Sorry the format is all bungled and I didn't think to post the lyrics in reverse order to have them show correctly. These are just the lyrics as I can pick them out anyway.
