Ould Johnny Rag

Ould Johnny Rag was a roving ragman
Rambling over the countryside
Getting rags from wanton women
Paying them in kind at night.

Ring, rang, ragga-dagga-durah,
Ring, rang, ragga-dagga-day,
Ring, rang, ragga-dagga-durah,
Ragga-dagga-durah-day,.

When Johnny Rag came to Kilkenny
Rang his bell and pushed his cart
Spent the night with juicy Jenny
Stole her knickers and her heart.

When Johnny came to Galway Bay
Got into bed with Deborah
Early morn', he took away
Her black suspenders and her bra.

When Johnny met this brown Colleen
Who was the star of the County Down
He set up a lover's scene
To steal away her evening gown.

Though Johnny seemed a lady killer
Still he had one greater love
His reflection in the mirror
Wearing all this women-stuff.
