paroles de chanson The Limerick Rake - The Pogues

I am a young fellow that's easy and bold
In Castletown Conner I'm very well known
In Newcastle West I spent many a night
With Kitty and Judy and Mary

My parents rebuked me for being such a rake
And for spending my time in such frolicsome ways
But I never could forget the good nature of Jenny
Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se

There's some say I'm foolish, there's some say I'm wise
And I will find that there are women that think it's no crime
The son of King David had 10,000 wives
And his wisdom was highly regarded

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

And some you'll fuss over, and some you'll forego
In there Devonshire's treasure's are 20 times more
But he's lying on his back amongst nettles and stones
Agus fagaimid mar a ata se

And when I am dead and I'm laid to my rest
My women and children will came at my wake
They'll gather around and they'll offer a prayer
To the Lord for the soul of their father
