Lyrics
Ye rambling boys of pleasure,
give ear unto these lines I write,
It is true that I am a rover,
and in roving I take great delight.
I placed my heart on a handsome girl
and often times she did me slight.
But my mind was never easy
only when my darling was here by my side.
Down in yon flow'ry gardens,
where me and my true love do meet,
I took her in my arms,
and to her I gave kisses sweet
She bade me take love easy,
just as the leaves fall from yon tree.
But I being young and foolish,
with my true love could not agree.
I wish I was in Amareky,
and my true love along with me.
Money to support us
and keep us in good company.
Liquor to be plenty,
a flowing pool on every side,
Hard fortune ne'er could daunt me,
for I am young
and the world is wide.
Writer(s): Composer & Author Trad, Paddy Maloney
