Bold O donahue lyrics

Well, here I am from Paddy s land, a land of high renown
I ve broke the hearts of all the girls for miles round Keady town
And when they hear that I m awa they ll raise a hullabaloo
When they hear about that handsome lad they call Bold OleDonahue!
cho: For I m the boy to please her, and I m the boy to tease her
I m the boy that can squeeze her an, I ll tell you what I ll do
I ll court her like an Irishman
Wi brogue and blarney too is me plan
With the holligan, rolligan, swolligan, molligan bold O Donahue!
I wish my love was a red. red rose growing on yon garden wall
And me to be a dewdrop and upon her brow I d fall!
Perhaps now she might think of me as a rather heavy dew
And no more she d love that handsome lad they call O Donahue!
Well I hear that Queen Victoria has a daughter fine and grand
Perhaps she d take it into her head for to marry an Irishman
And if I could only get the chance to have a word or two
I m sure she d take a notion to the bold O Donahue!
