Here are the lyrics:RAMBLEAWAY

INTRODUCTION
VERSE 1
As I was a-going to Derrydown Fair,
With my fine scarlet coat and everything rare,
Enough to entice all the maidens that day,
When they set their eyes on young Rambleaway.
REFRAIN
Rambleaway! Rambleaway!
When they set their eyes on young Rambleaway.
INTERLUDE

VERSE 2
The very first steps I took into the fair, 
I saw pretty Nancy a-combing her hair. 
I gave her the wink and she rolled her black eye. 
Thinks I to myself, I'll be there by and by.
REFRAIN
Rambleaway! Rambleaway! 
Thinks I to myself, I'll be there by and by.
INTERLUDE

VERSE 3
That night I told Nancy we never would part,
and took my bright darling to be my sweetheart. 
She smiled in my face and these words she did say
Are you the young man they call Rambleaway? 
REFRAIN
Rambleaway! Rambleaway!
Are you the young man they call Rambleaway?
INTERLUDE

VERSE 4
I said, Pretty Nancy don't smile in my face,
For I do not intend to stay long in this place.
So I gave her three doubles and fair length and share,
I told her I'd ramble the devil knows where.
REFRAIN
Rambleaway! Rambleaway!
I told her I'd ramble the devil knows where.


VERSE 5
When twenty-four weeks they were over and past,
This fair pretty maiden did sicken at last. 
Her gown wouldn't meet nor her apron strings stay,
And all through the love of young Rambleaway.
REFRAIN
Rambleaway! Rambleaway! 
And all through the love of young Rambleaway.
INTERLUDE



VERSE 6
So come pretty maidens wherever you be, 
With courting young fellows don't make yourselves free. 
For if you should do so you'll rue the sad day, 
 When you met with the likes of young Rambleaway.
REFRAIN
Rambleaway! Rambleaway! 
When you met with the likes of young Rambleaway.
