Bold O'Donoghue


Oh here I am from Paddy's land a land of high renown
I broke the hearts of all the girls from miles of Keady town
And when they hear that I'm away they raise a hull a balloo
When they hear about the handsome lad they call O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
And I'm the lad to sqeeze her and I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll court her like an Irishman with me broque and blarney too
Is me plan with me rollikin swollikin gollkin wollikin cold O'Donoghue

I wish me love was a red, red rose growin' on yon garden wall
And me to be a dew drop and upon her brow I'll fall
Perhaps now she might think of me as a rather heavy dew
No more she'd love the handsome lad they call O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
And I'm the lad to sqeeze her and I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll court her like an Irishman with me broque and blarney too
Is me plan with me rollikin swollikin gollkin wollikin cold O'Donoghue

They say that Queen Victoria has a daughter fine and grand
Perhaps she'd take it into her head for to marry an Irish man
And I could only get the chance to have a word or two
Perhaps she'd take a notion in the bould O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
And I'm the lad to sqeeze her and I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll court her like an Irishman with me broque and blarney too
Is me plan with me rollikin swollikin gollkin wollikin cold O'Donoghue
