Well here I am from Paddy's Land, a land of high renown
I broke the hearts of all the girls for miles from Kittystown
And when they hear that I'm around they raise a hullabaloo

When they heard about that handsome lad the call O Donohue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease here

I'm the boy to squeeze her and I'll tell you what I'd do
I'll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blarney clothes me man
Hannigan, Lannigan, Flannagan, Brannigan, bold O Donohue


I'd wish me love was a red, red rose growing on your garden wall
I need 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 would she love the handsome lad they call O donohue


For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease here
I'm the boy to squeeze her and I'll tell you what I'd do
I'll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blarney clothes me man

Hannigan, Lannigan, Flannagan, Brannigan, bold O Donohue

I hear the Queen Victoria has a daughter fine and grand

Perhaps she'd take it into her head to marry an Irishman
And If only I could get the chance to speak a word or two
Perhaps she'd take a notion for the bold O Donohue


For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease here
I'm the boy to squeeze her and I'll tell you what I'd do

I'll court her like an Irishman with me brogue and blarney clothes me man
Hannigan, Lannigan, Flannagan, Brannigan, bold O Donohue
