***The Limerick Rake from the 7" and 12" version of Yeah Yeah Yeah. An alternative to the chords is substituting Dm with Am and C with G using a capo on the fifth fret.
DmI am a young fellow that's easy and bold, In CCastletown Conners I'm very well known; In DmNewcastle West I spent many a note With CKitty and Jenny and DmMary. My parents rebuked me forC being such a rake And Dmspending my time in suchC frolicsome ways, But I Dmne've could forget the good nature of Jane, Agus Cfagaimid siud mar Dmata se.
There's some say I'm foolish, there's more say I'm wise, For love of the women I'm sure 'tis no crime; For the son of King David had ten thousand wives And his wisdom is highly recorded. If I chance for to go to the town of Rathkeel, The girls all around me do flock on the square, Some give me a bottle and others sweetcakes, To treat me unknown to their parents, There's one from Askeaton and one from the Pyke, And another from Ardour, my heart was beguiled, And being from the mountains, her stockings were white, Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se. John Damer of Shronel had plenty of gold And Devonshire's treasure was twenty times more, But he's laid on his back among nettles and stones, Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se. And when I'm on my back and I'm laid to rest The women will crowd for to cry at my wake, And their sons and their daughters will utter their prayers To the Lord for the sake of their father.
