"Limerick Rake" is a traditional Irish song written whose composer is disputed. The lyrics are set to the tune of an earlier song titled "Agús fagaimid siúd mar atá sé".[1]

The song appeared in Colm Ó Lochlainn's 1939 publication Irish Street Ballads and has been recorded by a number of notable artists.
