The Keg of Brandy
I'm always drunk and I'm seldom soberIn constant roving from town to townBut I am old now and my sporting is overSo Molly a stór won't you lay me downLay my head on a keg of brandyIt is my fancy I do declareFor while I'm drinking I'm always thinkingOf lovely Molly from the County ClareThe ripest apple is the soonest rottenAnd the warmest love is the soonest coldA young man's fancies are soon forgottenSo beware young maid's and don't make so boldLay my head on a keg of brandyIt is my fancy I do declareFor while I'm drinking I'm always thinkingOf lovely Molly from the County ClareIt's youth and folly makes young men marryIt makes them tarry a long long dayWhat can't be cured love must be endured loveSo farewell darling I am going awayLay my head on a keg of brandyIt is my fancy I do declareFor while I'm drinking I'm always thinkingOf lovely Molly from the County Clare Aus Songtexte Mania
