[Cm] I am a young fellow, [Eb] who's [Fm] easy [Cm] and bold, In Castletown colours [Bb] I'm very well-loved, [Cm] In Newcastle West I spent many [Fm] a note, [Cm] With Kitty and Judy and Barry.

_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[Cm] _ I am a young fellow, [Eb] who's [Fm] easy [Cm] and bold, In Castletown colours [Bb] I'm very well-loved, [Cm] In Newcastle West I spent many [Fm] a note, [Cm] With Kitty and Judy and Barry.
My father roots [Eb] me for being such [Bb] a [Cm] raid, And for spending me time [Bb] in such colics of [Cm] ways, While they ne'er could forget the fair nature of Jane, And for caught me stood for a tall chain.
Which I hide in the hide in the hide in the haze, In the river of life, while they [Bb] doodle and lump back all the day, [Cm] Someone sat on me hat [Eb] and I lost my [Fm] way to pay, [Cm] Before the first light of the morning.
_ _ If I chance for to go to the town of [Fm] [Cm] Radkeel, All the girls [Bb] all around me will flock [Cm] on the square, And some bring me pudge [Eb] and another [Fm] sweet [Cm] cakes, For to treat me and no to the round ones.
There's one from [Eb] Musketon, there's one from [Bb] the [Cm] Pike, And another from my [Bb] heart has [Cm] beguiled, All being from the [Eb] mountains, their stockings [Fm] they're white, [Cm] And caught me stood for a tall chain. _
_ _ Quarrel for [Eb] riches I ne'er [Fm] was [Cm] inclined, For the greatest of [Bb] mouses must leave them [Cm] behind, I'll buy me a cow [Eb] that will never [Fm] run [Cm] dry, And I'll milk her by twisting a horn.
_ John the Merchant [Eb] had plenty [Bb] of [Cm] gold, And deventures [Bb] treasures there twenty times [Cm] more, But he stayed on his [Eb] back among [Fm] nettles and [Cm] stones, For his fog [Gm] and me stood [Cm] for a tall chain.
_ Now some say I'm foolish and more [Fm] say I'm [Cm] wise, But be fond of the [Bb] women I think is no [Cm] crime, For the son of King [Eb] David had ten [Fm] hundred [Cm] wives, And his wisdom [Gm] was [Cm] highly regarded.
And now for the future [Bb] I mean to be [Cm] wise, And sent for the women [Gm] who acted so [Cm] kind, And I'll marry them all in the [Fm] morrow I am way, [Cm] If the clergy agree to the match.
Butch a hide and a hold and a hide and a haste, And a re-wither I follow to the [Bb] land of the Pike for the day, [Cm] Someone sat on me hat and I [Fm] lost my wigs, Hey!
[Cm] For his [Bb] fog and me stood for [Cm] a tall chain. _ _ _ _ _
