[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
