歌词
Me 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 you at all
For if I had a glass and a mile to the bottom
I'd drink to you, Molly, beside Donegal
And sing fal-le-dal-dah, fal-de-dal-darridy
Fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
Had a new pair of clogs I brought home from the market
I wanted an excuse for to go to the town
So I told me old mother the seams they were ripped
And I needed some nails to rivet them round
She clothed my hand with a bright British shilling
She thought the remainder it would be her own
She says, "When you go to town, you may buy half a noggin
But be sure you leave all them fancibles home"
Fal-le-dal-dah, fal-de-dal-darridy
Fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
Fal-le-dal-dah, fal-de-dal-darridy
Fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
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 made such a blow to the other
And said, "You 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"
And sing fal-le-dal-dah, fal-de-dal-darridy
Fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
And when I got home, well the door it was bolted
I rapped up my mother for to let me in
"Be gone from the place," were the words that she mentioned
"For inside this door you will not enter in
You may go away to wherever you came from
But to keep you out now I'm sure 'tis no sin"
I said, "Me good woman, you can keep your temper
And I can get lodging with Nora McGlynn"
And sing fal-le-dal-dah, fal-de-dal-darridy
Fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
Fal-le-dal-dah, fal-de-dal-darridy
Fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
Me 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 you at all
For if I had a glass and a mile to the bottom
I'd drink to you, Molly, beside Donegal
And sing fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
Fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
Fal-le-dal-dah, fal-de-dal-darridy
Fal-le-dal-dah, ally fal-de-fal-day
