Ye Rambling Boys of Pleasure

Traditional

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
