The Pogues - The Limerick Rake Lyrics

Send "The Limerick Rake" ringtone to your cell

I am a young fellow that's easy and bold

In Castletown Conners I'm very well known;

In Newcastle West I spent many a note

With Kitty and Jenny and Mary.

My parents rebuked me for being such a rake

And spending my time in such frolicsome ways

But I ne've could forget the good nature of Jane

Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se.

There's some say I'm foolish there's more say I'm wise

For love of the women I'm sure 'tis no crime;

For the son of King David had ten thousand wives

And his wisdom is highly recorded.

If I chance for to go to the town of Rathkeel

The girls all around me do flock on the square

Some give me a bottle and others sweetcakes

To treat me unknown to their parents

There's one from Askeaton and one from the Pyke

And another from Ardour my heart was beguiled

And being from the mountains her stockings were white

Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se.

John Damer of Shronel had plenty of gold

And Devonshire's treasure was twenty times more

But he's laid on his back among nettles and stones

Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se.

And when I'm on my back and I'm laid to rest

The women will crowd for to cry at my wake

And their sons and their daughters will utter their prayers

To the Lord for the sake of their father.
