RAMBLING BOYS OF PLEASURE
[Verse 1]
G C G
You rambling boys of pleasure
C D C G
Give ear unto these lines I write
C D Em D C
I own I am a rover
C G D C
In rambling I take great delight
D Em D C
I cast my mind on a handsome girl
C G D C
And often times she does me slight
G C G
My mind is never easy
C D C G
Except when my true love, is in my sight.
[Verse 2]
G C G
Down by yon flowery gardens
C D C G
Where me and my true love do meet
C D Em D C
I took her in my arms
C G D C
And unto her gave kisses sweet
D Em D C
She bade me take love easy
C G D C
Just as the leaves fall from the tree
G C G
But I being young and foolish
C D C G
With my own true love I did not agree.
[Verse 3]
G C G
And the second time I met my love
C D C G
I thought that her heart was surely mine
C D Em D C
But as the season changes
C G D C
My darling girl has changed her mind
D Em D C
Gold is the root of evil
C G D C
Although it bears a glistening hue
G C G
Causes many the lad and the lass to part
C D C G
Though their hearts like mine be e’er so true.
[Verse 4]
G C G
And I wish I was in Belfast town
C D C G
And my true love along with me
C D Em D C
And money in my pocket
C G D C
To keep us in good company
D Em D C
Liquor to be plenty
C G D C
A flowing glass on every side
G C G
Hard fortune would ne’er daunt me
C D C G
For I am young and the world is wide.
