1. Here I am from Paddy's land, A land of high renown I broke the hearts of all the girls From miles of Keady town And when they hear that I'm away' They raise a hullabaloo When they hear about the handsome lad They call O'Donahue. Refrain: For I'm the boy to please her And I'm the boy to tease her And I'm the boy to squeeze her up And I'll tell you what I'll do I'll court her like an Irishman With me brogue and blarney too is me plan With me rollikin', swollikin', Gollikin', wollikin', Bold O'Donahue.

2. I wish me love was a red red rose Grown' on yon garden wall And me to be dewdrop and upon Her brow I'd fall Perhaps now she might think of me As a rather heavy dew No more she'd love the handsome lad They call O'Donahue. 3. They say 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 Perhaps she'd take a notion In the bold O'Donahue.
