Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Westmeath Bachelor
Subject: Lyr Add: WESTMEATH BACHELOR
There are different versions of this.

With enamel on her fingernails and varnish on her toes
And raddle on her old physog and powder on her nose
And going to the barber to do up her neck and head
Isn't that sufficient reason why you find me still unwed

or
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 earning seven and six a week for working on the bog or I'm earning eighteen bob a day with Bord Na Mona on the bog

A friend he introduced me to a famous(or faded) movie star

She'd been married several times before to men of different creeds

And she thought she had a sucker in the bachelor from Westmeath

I hope that makes sense
