Текст песни: The Limerick Rake + перевод

I am a young fellow that’s easy and bold

In Castletown corners I’m very well known

In Newcastle West I spent many a note

With Kitty and Judy and Mary

My father rebuked me for being such a rake

And spending my time in such frolicsome ways

But I ne’er could forget the good nature of Jane

Agus fá¡gaimád siáºd mar atá¡ sé.

Now some say I’m foolish and some say I’m wise

But the love of the women, I think 'tis no crime

The son of King David had Ten Thousand wives

And his wisdom was highly regarded

Now there’s one from Askeaton and one from the Pike

Another from Arda, my heart was beguiled

She lives on the mountain, her stockings are white

and I’d love to be tightenin' her garters

John Damer of Shronel had plenty of gold,

And Devonshire’s treasure is twenty times more,

But he’s laid on his back among nettles and stones,

Agus fá¡gaimád siáºd mar atá¡ sé.

And when I am dead and am laid to my rest

My women and children shall appear at my wake

They’ll gather around me, to offer a prayer
