Lyrics Bold O'donahue - FIDDLER'S GREEN

Well now, here I am from Paddy's land, a land of high reknown,
I've broken all the hearts of girls for miles from Keady town;
And when they hear that I'm awa' 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 to squeeze her and I'll tell you what I'll do:
I'll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blamey 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 I'd 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 hear that Queen Victoria has a daugther 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 please her and I'm the boy to tease her,
I'm the boy to squeeze her and I'll tell you what I'll do:
I'll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blamey too is me plan,
Me rollikin swollikin hollikin wollikin bold O'Donahue.
