Ramblin' Boys Of Pleasure - Emer Kenny

[00:01.35]Ye rambling boys of pleasure,
[00:07.85]give ear unto these lines I write,
[00:14.26]It is true that I am a rover,
[00:21.24]and in roving I take great delight.
[00:28.56]I cast my mind on a handsome girl
[00:35.38]and often times she did me slight.
[00:42.31]But my mind was never easy
[00:48.93]only when my true love was here by my side.
[00:56.21]
[00:59.25]Down by yon flowery gardens
[01:05.26]Where me and my true love do meet
[01:11.88]I took her in my arms
[01:18.55]And to her gave kisses sweet
[01:26.94]She bade me take love easy
[01:34.01]Just as the leaves fall from the tree
[01:40.93]But I being young and foolish
[01:47.85]With my true love could not agree.
[01:54.07]
[01:57.70]And I wish I was in Amareky
[02:03.43]And my true love along with me
[02:07.97]Money to support us
[02:17.78]To keep us in good company
[02:24.70]Liquor to be plenty
[02:32.27]A flowing glass on every side
[02:39.10]Hard fortune  never could daunt me
[02:45.26]For I am young and the world is wide.
