Lyrics The Bold O'donoghue - The Shannon Singers

The Bold O'donoghue

Here I am in Paddy’s land a land of high renown.
I broke the hearts of all the girls for miles round Keady town.
And when they hear that I’m awa they’ll raise a hullaballoo.
When they hear about the handsome lad they call O’Donoghue.
For I’m the boy to please her, I’m the boy to tease her, I’m the boy to
squeezer and I’ll tell her what I’ll do.
I’ll court her like an Irishman with my brogue and blarney too is my plan.
With my holligan, wolligan, holligan, swolligan bold O’Donoghue.
I wish my love was a red red rose upon your garden wall.
And me could be a teardrop and upon your brow I’ll fall.
Perhaps she might think on me as a rather heavy dew.
The more they love the handsome lad they call O’Donoghue.
For I’m the boy to please her, I’m the boy to tease her, I’m the boy to
squeezer and I’ll tell her what I’ll do.
I’ll court her like an Irishman with my brogue and blarney too is my plan.
With my holligan, wolligan, holligan, swolligan bold O’Donoghue.
For I’m the boy to please her, I’m the boy to tease her, I’m the boy to
squeezer and I’ll tell her what I’ll do.
I’ll court her like an Irishman with my brogue and blarney too is my plan.
With my holligan, wolligan, holligan, swolligan bold O’Donoghue.
Holligan, wolligan, holligan, swolligan bold O’Donoghue.
