The Westmeath Bachelor

Sure 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 can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head
thats why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed.

Last Thursday after 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 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 can 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 for 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 can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head
Sure thats why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed.
