Paddy Lyr Req: The Westmeath Bachelor (26) Lyr Add: THE WESTMEATH BACHELOR 25 Mar 99


I thought I put this in already, but here goes
^^

I am a Westmeath Bachelor and my age is 63
I don't intend to marry or to raise a family
I'm happy and contented to lead a single life
That's why I'm a bachelor and I never take a wife

Chorus
With the red stuff on her fingernails and varnish on her toes
Raddle on her ould fisogue and whitewash on her nose
It would take a fancy barber, to shave her neck and head
That's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed

I'm living with my brother and his little cat and dog
I'm earning seven and six a week for working on the bog
Why should I change this life of ease for one of struggle and strife
That's the very reason why I'll never take a wife

Chorus

One day while at the market, in the town of Mullingar
A friend he introduced me to a famous movie star
She'd been married several times before to men of different creed
And she thought she had a sucker in the bachelor from Westmeath

Chorus

Such noble sentiments . . . (sigh)

Paddy
