Текст Christy Moore – The Foxy Devil

When I was young and handy in my prime
In taverns I would sit and bide my time
It’s there I met your company
I’d sit and drink my fill

You’re the crafty rogue and that’s for sure
For your company there is no cure
I’ve squandered all my money
And the best days of my life
All on your charms, in spite of harm
In spite of peace and strife

Whiskey in the morning or at night
Gives strength to sing and dance, to love and fight
And so despite misfortune
I’ll take you as you are
The best of friends and enemies
The best I’ve known by far
