Bold O'Donaghue

Here I am from Paddy's Land, the land of high renown

I broke the hearts of all the girls for miles round Keady Town

And when they hear that I'm a'wa they'll raise a hullabaloo

When they hear about the handsome man they call O'Donoghue

Chorus:

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her

I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll you what I'll do

I'll court her like an Irishman, with a brogue and blarney to is me plan

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'd fall

Perhaps now she might think of me as rather heavy dew

No more to love that handsome man they call O'Donoghue

Chorus

I hear that Queen Victoria has a daughter fine and grand

Perhaps she'll take it in to her head for to marry an Irishman

And if I can only get a chance to have a word or two

Perhaps she'll take a notion to the bold O'Donoghue

Chorus
