Bold ODonahue

Well, here I am from Paddys land, a land of high renown
Ive broke the hearts of all the girls for miles round Keady town
And when they hear that Im awa theyll raise a hullabaloo
When they hear about that handsome lad they call Jack Donahue!
Cho: For Im the boy to squeeze her, and Im the boy to tease her
Im the boy that can please her, ach, an Ill tell you what Ill do
Ill court her like an Irishman
Wi me brogue and blarney too is me plan
With the holligan, rolligan, swolligan, molligan bold ODonahue!
I wish my love was a red. red rose growing on yon garden wall
And me to be a dewdrop and upon her brow Id fall!
Perhaps now she might think of me as a rather heavy dew
And no more shed love that handsome lad they call ODonahue!
Well I hear that Queen Victoria has a daughter fine and grand
Perhaps shed take it into her head for to marry an Irishman
And if I could only get the chance to have a word or two
Im sure shed take a notion to the bold ODonahue!
