Bould O’Donoghue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, here I am from Paddy's land, the land of high renown I've broke the hearts of all the girls from miles around Keady town And when they hear that I'm awa', they'll raise a hullabaloo When they hear about that handsome lad that 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 tell you what we'll do I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan Bould O'Donoghue [Verse 2] I wish my love was a red, red rose, growing on yon garden wall And I can be the dew drop and upon your brow I'd fall Perhaps that she might think on me as a rather heavy dew No more she'd love the handsome lad 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 tell you what we'll do I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan Bould O'Donoghue [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I hear the Queen of England 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 Bould 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 tell you what we'll do I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan Bould 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 tell you what we'll do I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan Bould O'Donoghue
