when i was young and foolish my age was 24
i left lough erne's lovely banks to Boston i sailed o'er
t'was there i met a lady gay of honour and renown
and off her i did ask the way to famous New York town

what would you take young man she said along with me to stray
and we'll talk about old ireland and lough erne another day
i have ranches down in texas i have horses by the score
and i'll take you down the rio grande its far from erne's shore

can anyone help with the rest?? i used to sing this a lifetime ago and it pops into my head every time i think of Willie Rambler. The air is different but alot of the words are the same
