Verse 1
Am C F I am a young fellow from the County Tyrone, C G Em G In the town of Strabane sure I'm very well known, Am C F For down to the alehouse I'm frequently goin', C G Am With Kitty and Ginny and Mary. Am C My father rebuked me for being such a rake, Am G And for spending me money on whiskey and cakes, Am C F But the lassies are sweet and it's all for their sakes, C G Am And it keeps me lighthearted and merry.
Chorus
Am C Em G I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, Am G Em G I will court all the lassies or at least I will try, Am C F And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die, C G Am Agus fagaimid suid mar atá sé

Verse 2
Am C F If I chance for to wander on down to the fair, C G Em G All the lassies all around me do flock on the square, Am C F I'll pull out me fiddle and play an auld air, C G Am And soon we're all off on the spree. Am C There's Peggy and Jane from the banks of Loch Nee, Am G There's Kitty and Molly down Dungannon Way, Am C F And there's another one from Cookstown who makes me head sway, C G Am Such a fuss they all make over me.
Chorus
Am C Em G I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, Am G Em G I will court all the lassies or at least I will try, Am C F And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die, C G Am Agus fagaimid suid mar atá sé

Verse 3
Am C F To quarrel for riches I ne'er was inclined, C G Em G For the greatest of misers must leave them behind, Am C F So me money I spend with no thought in me mind, C G Am But to kick up our heels and carouse. Am C For the rich never spend any gold of their own, Am G Sure they hold it away like a dog and it's bone, Am C F But they end on their back among nettles and stones, C G Am And I hear there're no pockets in shrouds.
Chorus
Am C Em G I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, Am G Em G I will court all the lassies or at least I will try, Am C F And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die, C G Am Agus fagaimid suid mar atá sé

Verse 4
Am C F Now some say I'm foolish and some say I'm wise, C G Em G For loving the women and the whiskey likewise, Am C F But the son of King David had ten hundred wives, C G Am And his wisdom was highly regarded! Am C So I'll call for the lassies and ask them to wed, Am G And we'll all be content in the one marriage bed, Am C F While the rich count their gold we'll count children instead, C G Am And we'll raise them up true and stout-hearted.
Chorus
Am C Em G I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry, Am G Em G I will court all the lassies or at least I will try, Am C F And I'll never conform 'til the day that I die, C G Am Agus fagaimid suid mar atá sé C G Am Agus fagaimid suid mar atá sé
