I love this song and your comments and ratings would really be appreciated - I hope I deserve them. Anyway, I have been asked by one or two people why it is they never see me actually singing or playing - this is my response - I made this video about a month ago (or so) and have only got around to putting it together now - my first 'live' singing on this channel - I hope you like it. Anyway, this song is very rarely heard now, unfortunately. And lyrics .... I'm a young fellow who's easy and bold, In Castletown Conners 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 can forget the good nature of Jane 'Agus fagamid siud mar ata se' (Irish for 'We'll leave it as it is') My parents had rared me to rake and to mow to plough and to harrow, to reap and to sow but my heart being too airy to drop it so low I set out on a high speculation On paper and parchment they taught me to write in Euclid and grammar they opened my eyes and in multiplication, in truth I was bright agus fagamid siud mar ata se If I chance for to go to the town of Rathkeal The girls all around me do flock on the square some bring me a bottle and others sweet cakes to treat me unknown to their parents There's one from Askeaton and one from the Pike another from Ardagh, my heart was beguiled though being from the mountains her stockings are white agus fagamid siud mar ata se To quarrel for riches, I ne'er was inclined for the greatest of misers must leave them behind I'll purchase a cow that will never run dry and I'll milk her by twisting her horn John Darmer of Schrowel had plenty of gold and Devonshire's treasure was 20 times more but he's laid on his back upon nettles and stones agus fagmid siud mar ata se This cow can be milked without clover or grass for she's pampered on corn, good barley and hops she's warma and she's stout and she's free in her paps and she'll milk without spancel or halter The man that will drink it will cock his caubeen and if anyone coughs there'll be wigs on the green and the feeble old hag will get supple and free agus fagamid siud mar ata se If I chance for to go to the market at Croom with my cock in my hand and my pipes in full tune I'm welcome at once and brought up to a room where Baccus is sporting with Venus There's Peggy and Jane from the town of Bruree and Biddy from Bruff and we're all on the spree such a combing of locks as there was about me agus fagamid siud mar ata se And now for the future, I mean to be wise and I'll send for the women that acted so kind and I'll marry them all on the square by and by if the clergy agree to the bargain and when I'm on me back and me soul is at peace these women will crowd for to cry at my wake and their sons and their daughters will offer their prayers to the Lord, for the soul of their father.(Less)
