Bold Doherty

Me name is Bold Doherty from the north country
 Where there's a still upon every stream
 Lady, be quicker and pour me more liquor
 And fill me a glass of the stronger than cream
 If I had you, Molly, so pleasant and jolly
 Although it's a folly to ask you at all
 I'd fill up me glass with a mile to the bottom
 And I'd drink to you, Molly, beside Donegal
 With me fol the dol do, fol the dol do with me
 Fol the dol do with me, fol the dol day
 Fol the dol do, fol the dol do with me
 Fol the dol do with me, fol the dol day
 I've a new pair of clogs I brought home from the market
 I craved an excuse to get into the town
 I told me old mother the seams, they were ripped
 And I needed some nails for to rivet them down
 She clothed me hand with a bright bit of shilling
 She thought the remainder would be her own
 Saying, "When you go to town, you can buy the full nagan
 But beware you bring none of your fancibles home"
 (Chor)
 When crossing the fields of me brave Enniskillen
 I went into an ale-house for to take a dram
 When I saw two tinkers dividing a saucepan
 Although there were arguing about the ten can
 One of them then made a blow at the other one
 He said, "You young villain, I will take your life"
 Saying, "Your saucepans are leaking and won't hold the water
 Since 'ere the Bold Doherty spoke with your wife"
 (Chor)
 Oh when I got home, the door, it was bolted
 I rapped up me mother for to let me in
 "Be gone ore the place" was the words that she mentioned
 "For inside this house you'll not enter in
 You may go away to wherever you came from
 For to keep you out, now I'm sure it's no sin"
 Says I, "Me gay woman, you may keep your temper
 'Cause I can find lodging with Nora McGlynn"
 (Chor 2x)
