Bold O`donahue — текст песни (Clancy Brothers)

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 Jack Donahue!
cho: For I`m the boy to squeeze her, and I`m the boy to tease her
I`m the boy that can please her, ach, an` I`ll tell you what I`ll do
I`ll court her like an Irishman
Wi` me 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!
