Raking and Roguing Lyrics

Dá bhfaighinnse scilling le díol
(If I had a schilling to spend)
Is canna maith dí le hól
(And a good can of draught to drink)
Ó diabhal braon d'uisce na díge
(Oh not a drop of ditch water)
'Rachadh lem' chroí go deo
(Would I ever take again)
Curfá: (Chorus:)
Is ó boro braindí braindí
(And it's oh boro brandy brand)
'S ó boro braindí ó
(It's oh boro brandy oh)
'S ó boro braindí braindí
(And it's oh boro brandy brandy)
'S ragairne ó oíche go ló
(And raking from morning 'til night)

Dob ait liom coinneal is píopa
(I long for a candle and pipe)
Dob ait liom píopaire ceoil
(I long for a musical pipe)
Dob ait liom cuideacht' im thimpeall
(I long for company around me)
Is ragairne ó oíche go ló
(And raking from morning to night)
Is ó boro braindí braindí
(And it's oh boro brandy brand)
'S ó boro braindí ó
(It's oh boro brandy oh)
'S ó boro braindí braindí
(And it's oh boro brandy brandy)
'S ragairne ó oíche go ló
(And raking from morning 'til night)

Ólaim sláinte ár saoithe
(I drink the health of our nobility)
Is sláinte ár ndaoine cóir
(And the health of all good people)
Is sláinte gach preabaire groí
(And the health of every fine fellow)
A chaithfeadh le hintinn coróin
(Who would spend a crown heartily)
Is ó boro braindí braindí
(And it's oh boro brandy brand)
'S ó boro braindí ó
(It's oh boro brandy oh)
'S ó boro braindí braindí
(And it's oh boro brandy brandy)
'S ragairne ó oíche go ló
(And raking from morning 'til night)

Is ó boro braindí braindí
(And it's oh boro brandy brand)
'S ó boro braindí ó
(It's oh boro brandy oh)
'S ó boro braindí braindí
(And it's oh boro brandy brandy)
'S ragairne ó oíche go ló
(And raking from morning 'til night)
