Lyrics No Rules or Borders - The Irish Rovers
When
I
was
young
and
foolish
I
joined
to
be
a
soldier
They
marched
me
up
and
down
the
town
with
a
gun
upon
me
shoulder
I
fought
in
bloody
battlefields
where
many's
the
life
was
squandered
I
didn't
like
that
job
a'tall
so
I
did
me
hitch
then
wandered
To
hell
with
all
your
orders
I
want
no
rules
or
borders
I'll
spend
me
time
a-ramblin'
round
drinking
pints
of
porter
Be
damn
i
had
a
wife
one
time
but
we
were
badly
mated
We
argued
this
we
argued
that
and
now
we're
separated
And
if
by
chance
i
pass
her
by
I'm
always
right
and
civil
"Good
morning
to
you
ma'am"
says
I,
"to
hell
with
you",
she
snivels
To
hell
with
all
your
orders
I
want
no
rules
or
borders
I'll
spend
me
time
a-ramblin'
round
drinking
pints
of
porter
There's
some
who
do
their
daily
toil
and
seem
to
be
contented
If
that
was
me
I'd
whinge
all
day
and
no
doubt
be
demented
I
tip
me
hat
to
workers
all
who
bear
their
situation
I'll
never
be
a
wage-slave
for
it's
not
me
live's
vocation
To
hell
with
all
your
orders
I
want
no
rules
or
borders
I'll
spend
me
time
a-ramblin'
round
drinking
pints
of
porter
There's
freedom
on
the
open
road
to
travel
where
you
pleases
Down
country
lanes
or
leafy
glens
in
snow
or
summer
breezes
No
one
to
tell
me
what
to
do
no
boss
to
scrutinize
me
I'm
happy
as
a
lark
for
I'm
the
one
that
does
advise
me
To
hell
with
all
your
orders
I
want
no
rules
or
borders
I'll
spend
me
time
a-ramblin'
round
drinking
pints
of
porter
To
hell
with
all
your
orders
I
want
no
rules
or
borders
I'll
spend
me
time
a-ramblin'
round
drinking
pints
of
porter
