Westmeath Bachelor - Joe Dolan

作词：Whelan

作曲：Whelan

I am a Westmeath bachelor me age is 63

I don't intend to marry or to raise a family

I'm happy and contented just to live a single life

And thats the reason why I don't intend to take a wife

With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old face and the whitewash on her nose

She'll get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head

Sure thats why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed

Last Thursday after market in the town of Mullingar

Afriend he introduced me to a famous movie star

She'd been married several times before to men of every creed

She thought that she had found a sucker in the bachelor from Westmeath

With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old face and the whitewash on her nose

She'll get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head

Sure thats why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed

I'm living with me brother and his little cat and dog

I'm earnin' seventy pounds a week a workin' on the bog

Why should I change this life of ease for one of struggle and strife

And that's another reason why I never took a wife

With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old face and the whitewash on her nose

She'll get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head

Sure thats why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed

I'm living with me brother and his little cat and dog

I'm earnin' seventy pounds a week a workin' on the bog

Why should I change this life of ease for one of struggle and strife

And that's another reason why I never took a wife

With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes

The raddle on her old face and the whitewash on her nose

She'll get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head

Sure thats why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed
