Am (G) (Am)
IAm am a young fellow that's eCasy and bAmold,
In CaGstletown CoEmnner I'm vGery well knEmown;
In NAmewcastle West I spent mCany a nAmote
G Em Am (G) (Am)
With Kitty and Judy and Mary.
My paAmrents rebuked me for bCeing such a rake
And for spEmending my tGime in such frEmolicsome waGys,
But I nAme're could forget the good naCture of JAmane,
G Em Am (G) (Am)
Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se.
There's sAmome say I'm foolish, there's sCome say I'm wAmise,
And I will fGind that there are wEmomen that thGink it's no crEmime;
The sAmon of King David had tCen hundred wAmives
G Em Am (G) (Am)
And his wisdom was highly regarded.
In EuAmclid and grammar they taCught me to write
But my hEmeart, it was stGolen by a pEmair of brown thGighs
That cAmame from the mountains, her stoCckings of whAmite,
G Em Am (G) (Am)
I'd love to be tied to her garter.
And sAmome yearn for silver, and sCome yearn for gAmold
In there DeGvonshire's trEmeasure's are twGenty times mEmore,
But he's lAmying on his back amongst neCttles and stAmones,
G Em Am (G) (Am)
Agus fagaimid mar a ata se.
AmThen when I'm on my back and they've lCaid to my rest
the wEmomen will crGowd for to Emcry at my wGake,
Am C Am (hold)
They'll gather around and they'll offer a prayer
(no music)
To the Lord for the soul of their father.
