Fiddler's Green - Bold O'Donahue lyrics

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
