LETRA

Bold Doherty

My name is bold doherty
from the north country
where there's a still upon every stream
landlady be quicker
and bring us more liquor
and fill us a pitcher that's stronger than cream
if i had you molly so pleasant and jolly,
although it's a folly to ask it at all
oh if i had a glass and a mile to the bottom
i'd drink to you molly in old donegal
Chorus:
with me folderoldol,
with me folderol dariddy, folderol dol,
raddly folderol dee
I'd a new pair of brogues
i'd brought home from the market,
i wanted an excuse for to go back to town
so i told me old mother
the seams they were ripped
and i needed some nails for to rivet them round
she clothed me hand with a bright silver shilling
and said the remainder it would be me own
"when you go to town you may buy a full naggin - beware you bring none of your fancy girls home"
Chorus
When crossing the hills
of me brave enniskillen,
i went into an alehouse for to take a dram
there i saw two tinkers dividing a saucepan
although they were arguing about a tin can
then one of them took a great blow at the other
and said" me old villain i will take your life
for your saucepans are leaking
and can't hold the water
since ever bold doherty spoke to your wife!"
Chorus
And when i got home sure
the door it was bolted,
i rapped up me mother for to let me in
begone from this place were the words
that she mentioned, for inside that door
you will not venture in
you may go away to wherever you came from,
for to lock you out now i think 't is no sin
says i,"me good woman you may hold your temper
for i can get lodgings with norah mcglynn!"
Chorus
