Westmeath Bachelor |
| I am a Westmeath bachelor and me age is 63 |
| I don’t intend to marry or to raise a family |
| I’m happy and contented just to live a single life |
| And that’s the reason why I don’t intend to take a wife |
| With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes |
| The raddle on her old fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose |
| She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head |
| Sure that’s why I’m a bachelor and don’t intend to wed |
| Last Thursday at the market in the town of Mullingar |
| A friend, he introduced me to a famous movie star |
| She’d was married several times before to men of every creed |
| And she thought she had found a sucker in the bachelor from Westmeath |
| With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes |
| The raddle on her old fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose |
| She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head |
| Sure that’s why I’m a bachelor and don’t intend to wed |
| Now, I’m living with me brother and his little cat and dog |
| I’m earning seven and six a week, a-working on the bog |
| Why should I change this life of ease for one of struggle and strife |
| And that’s the reason why I never took a wife |
| With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes |
| The raddle on her old fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose |
| She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head |
| Sure that’s why I’m a bachelor and don’t intend to wed |
