Well, I'm Irish, but a ramblin' boy There are many a cities I did enjoyAnd now I'm marryin' me a pretty little wife And I love her dear heart, and I love my lifeMy mother says she's all alone My sister says she has no homeMy wife, she left in sad despair With an achin' heart and a baby fairNow, when I die, don't bury me at allJust place me away in alcohol My forty-four foot by my feetTell everyone I'm just a slave Well, I'm Irish, but a ramblin' boyThere are many a cities I did enjoy And now I'm marryin' me a pretty little wifeAnd I love her dear heart, and I love my lifeMy mother says she's all alone My sister says she has no homeMy wife, she left in sad despair With an achin' heart and a baby fair
