I am a young fellow from the County Tyrone In the town of Strabane shur I'm very well known For down to the alehouse I'm frequently goin' With Kitty and Ginny and Mary My father rebuked me for being such a rake And for spending me money on whiskey and cakes But the lassies are sweet and it's all for their sakes And it keeps me lighthearted and merry Chorus: I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry I will court all the lassies or at least I will try And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se 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 And soon we're all off on the spree There's Peggy and Jane from the banks of Loch Nee There's Kitty and Molly down Dungannon Way And there's another one from Cookstown who makes me head sway Such a fuss they all make over me Chorus 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 But to kick up our heels and carrouse 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 Chorus (Instrumental) Now some say I'm foolish and some say I'm wise For loving the women and the whiskey likewise But the son of King David had ten hundred wives And his wisdom was highly regarded! 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 Chorus Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se!

I've made sheet music for this song, so if anyone wants to play it using notes or guitar chords, just tell me in comments. I did it because I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet..

According to the Rover's themselves, "Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se" translates to "leave it as it is- enough said about it".
This song has become my new life motto!
I am a young fellow from the County Tyrone
In the town of Strabane shur I'm very well known
For down to the alehouse I'm frequently goin'
With Kitty and Ginny and Mary
My father rebuked me for being such a rake
And for spending me money on whiskey and cakes
But the lassies are sweet and it's all for their sakes
And it keeps me lighthearted and merry
Chorus:
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
I will court all the lassies or at least I will try
And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die
Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se
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
And soon we're all off on the spree
There's Peggy and Jane from the banks of Loch Nee
There's Kitty and Molly down Dungannon Way
And there's another one from Cookstown who makes me head sway
Such a fuss they all make over me
Chorus
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
But to kick up our heels and carrouse
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
Chorus
(Instrumental)
Now some say I'm foolish and some say I'm wise
For loving the women and the whiskey likewise
But the son of King David had ten hundred wives
And his wisdom was highly regarded!
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
Chorus
Agus fagaimid suid mar ata se!
Best version of this song, hands down!
This is my Favorit song! Really a story teller!

I am so happy Australia got a fair share of Irish settlers
Pretty sure that says Austria
What does? My comment? No it doesn't
Blynch

Oh no I just meant that I was glad Australia was settled with a fair share of the Irish, otherwise we might not have the same culture
I wonder, does it actually have?

It's not "For loving the women and the whiskey like wives" , but "For loving the women and the whiskey likewise".

Whats the irish Words in the last part.
And what do they translate to ?
"agus fagamid shud maartashi" as I hear it
In English, it technically means "And let's just leave it at that."
@mrslayer92 it's Irish obviously xd
agus fagaimid mar ata se! te failte!
For lyrics close to these, google "I am a young fellow that's easy and bold", 1st link. RUclips does not allow direct links.
