The Rake

Unknown

In the town of Strabanshire I'm very well known,

For down to the alehouse I'm frequently gone,

My father rebuked me for being such a rake,

And for spending my money on whiskey and cakes,

But the lassies are sweet and its all for their sakes,

If I chance for to wander on down to the fair,

All the lassies all around me do flock on the square,

I'll pull out me fiddle and play an auld air,

There's Peggy and Jane form the banks of Loch Nee,

There's Kitty and Molly down Donegalleon Way,

And there's another from Coutstown who makes me head sway,

To quarrel for riches I ne'er was inclined,

For the greatest of misers must leave them behind,

So me money I spend with no thought in me mind,

For the rich never spend any gold of their own,

Sure they hold it away like a dog and it's bone,

But they end on their back among nettles and stones,

And I hear there're no pockets in shrouds.

Now some say I'm foolish and some say I'm wise,

Fer loving the women and the whiskey like wives,

But the son of King David had ten hundred wives,

So I'll call for the lassies and ask them to wed,

And we'll all be content in the one marriage bed,

While the rich count their gold we'll count children instead,

And we'll raise them up true and stout hearted.
