The Pogues - The Limerick Rake: chords

Dm
I am a young fellow that's easy and bold,
    C
In Castletown Corners I'm very well known;
    Dm
In Newcastle West I spent many a note
      C                   Dm
With Kitty and Jenny and Mary.

My parents rebuked me for being such a rake
And for spending my time in such frolicsome ways
But I ne'er 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 find that there are women that think its
no crime
The son of King David had ten thousand 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 to her garter

And some you'll fuss over and some you'll forego
In dear Devonshire treasures are twenty 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 keen at my wake
They'll gather around and they'll offer a prayer
To the Lord for the soul of their father
