Bold O'donahue |
Well here I am from Paddy’s land, a land of high renown |
I’ve broken the hearts of all the girls for miles from Keady town; |
And when they hear that I’m away they raise a hullabaloo |
When they hear about that handsome lad then they call O’Donahue |
I’m the boy to please her and I’m the boy to tease her |
I’m the boy can squeeze her up, I’ll tell you what I’ll do: |
I’ll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blarney too is me plan |
Me rollikin swollikin hollikin wollikin bold O’Donahue |
I wish me love was a red rose growing on yon garden wall |
And me to be a dew drop and upon her brow to fall; |
Perhaps then she might think of me as a rather heavy dew |
No more she’d love the handsome lad they call O’Donahue |
I’m the boy to please her and I’m the boy to tease her |
I’m the boy can squeeze her up, I’ll tell you what I’ll do: |
I’ll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blarney too is me plan |
Me rollikin swollikin hollikin wollikin bold O’Donahue |
I hear that Queen Victoria has a daughter fine and grand |
Perhaps she’d take it into her head for to marry an Irishman |
If I could only get the chance to have a word or two |
I’m sure she’d take a notion in the bold O’Donahue |
For I’m the boy to tease her and I’m the boy to please her |
I’m the boy can squeeze her up, I’ll tell you what I’ll do: |
I’ll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blarney too is me plan |
Me rollikin swollikin hollikin wollikin bold O’Donahue |
Well here I am from Paddy’s land, a land of high renown |
I’ve broken the hearts of all girls for miles from Keady town; |
And when they hear that I’m away they raise a hullabaloo |
When they hear about that handsome lad then they call O’Donahue |
For I’m the boy to please her and I’m the boy to tease her |
I’m the boy can squeeze her up, I’ll tell you what I’ll do: |
I’ll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blarney too is me plan |
Me rollikin swollikin hollikin wollikin bold O’Donahue |
I’m the boy to please her and I’m the boy to tease her |
I’m the boy can squeeze her up, I’ll tell you what I’ll do: |
I’ll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blarney too is me plan |
Me rollikin swollikin hollikin wollikin bold O’Donahue |
