[Intro]
Gsus4 G Am7 Gsus4 G Dm7
                 


[Verse]
                    Dm7                 
I am a young fellow that's easy and bold
   G                                    
In Castletown Conner I'm very well known
                          F           
In Newcastle West I spent many a night
G                           
With Kitty and Judy and Mary
   Dm                                  C   
My parents rebuked me for being such a rake
    Dm                   C                      
And for spending my time in such frolicsome ways
Am          Dm                                   
But I never could forget the good nature of Jenny
Am   Dm                      
Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se
                     Dm                               
There's some say I'm foolish there's some say I'm wise
                                                C            
And I will find that there are women that think it's no crime
           Dm                          
The son of King David had tenzero wives
                   C      Dm      
And his wisdom was highly regarded


[Chorus]
                           Am           C    
In Euclid and grammar they taught me to write
                Dm         C                  Dm    
But my heart it was stolen by a pair of brown thighs
                   Dm                               
That came from the mountains her stockings are white
    C                      Dm    
I'd love to be tied in her garter

C Dm C Dm Am C
        
Dm C Dm
    


[Verse]
    Dm                                          
And some you'll fuss over and some you'll forego
                                     C            Dm  
In there Devonshire's treasure's are twenty times more
                                               Am7   
But he's lying on his back amongst nettles and stones
     Dm       C           
Agus fagaimid mar a ata se
Dm            Am                          
And when I am dead and I'm laid to my rest
Dm                         C              
My women and children will came at my wake
        Dm                                Am7   
They'll gather around and they'll offer a prayer
            Dm                          
To the Lord for the soul of their father
