[00:00.000]
[00:14.624]I am a young fellow from the County Tyrone,
[00:18.180]In the town of Strabane shur I'm very well known,
[00:21.720]For down to the alehouse I'm frequently goin',
[00:25.627]With Kitty and Ginny and Mary.
[00:29.101]My father rebuked me for being such a rake,
[00:32.512]And for spending me money on whiskey and cakes,
[00:36.264]But the lassies are sweet and it's all for their sakes,
[00:39.724]And it keeps me lighthearted and merry
[00:43.473]I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry,
[00:46.997]I will court all the lassies or at least I will try,
[00:50.614]And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die,
[00:54.202]Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se
[00:57.663]
[01:01.522]If I chance for to wander on down to the fair,
[01:05.157]All the lassies all around me do flock on the square,
[01:08.594]I'll pull out me fiddle and play an auld air,
[01:12.398]And soon we're all off on the spree
[01:15.913]There's Peggy and Jane from the banks of Loch Nee,
[01:19.431]There's Kitty and Molly down Dungannon Way,
[01:23.132]And there's another one from Cookstown who makes me head sway,
[01:26.758]Such a fuss they all make over me.
[01:30.368]I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry,
[01:33.919]I will court all the lassies or at least I will try,
[01:37.600]And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die,
[01:41.111]Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se
[01:44.707]
[01:48.610]To quarrel for riches I ne'er was inclined,
[01:52.167]For the greatest of misers must leave them behind,
[01:55.530]So me money I spend with no thought in me mind,
[01:59.094]But to kick up our heels and carrouse.
[02:02.902]For the rich never spend any gold of their own,
[02:06.460]Sure they hold it away like a dog and it's bone,
[02:10.088]But they end on their back among nettles and stones,
[02:13.666]And I hear there're no pockets in shrouds.
[02:17.300]I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry,
[02:20.785]I will court all the lassies or at least I will try,
[02:24.572]And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die,
[02:28.134]Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se
[02:31.390]
[03:00.771]Now some say I'm foolish and some say I'm wise,
[03:04.245]For loving the women and the whiskey like wives,
[03:07.940]But the son of King David had ten hundred wives,
[03:11.471]And his wisdom was highly regarded!
[03:15.154]So I'll call for the lassies and ask them to wed,
[03:18.632]And we'll all be content in the one marriage bed,
[03:22.257]While the rich count their gold we'll count children instead,
[03:25.949]And we'll raise them up true and stout-hearted
[03:29.594]I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry,
[03:33.114]I will court all the lassies or at least I will try,
[03:36.807]And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die,
[03:40.348]Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se
[03:43.932]​Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se!
