The Chieftains — Ye Rambling Boys of Pleasure

Ye rambling boys of pleasure Give ear unto these lines I write It is true that I am a rover And in roving I take great delight I placed my heart on a handsome girl And often times she did me slight But my mind was never easy Only when my darling was here by my side Down in yon flow'ry gardens Where me and my true love do meet I took her in my arms And to her I gave kisses sweet She bade me take love easy Just as the leaves fall from yon tree But I being young and foolish With my true love could not agree I wish I was in Amareky And my true love along with me Money to support us And keep us in good company Liquor to be plenty A flowing pool on every side Hard fortune ne'er could daunt me For I am young And the world is wide
