Westmeath Bachelor

I am a Westmeath bachelor and 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 that's 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 fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed Last Thursday at the market in the town of Mullingar A friend, he introduced me to a famous movie star She'd was married several times before to men of every creed And she thought 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 fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed Now, I'm living with me brother and his little cat and dog I'm earning seven and six a week, a-working on the bog Why should I change this life of ease for one of struggle and strife And that's the 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 fizzhog and the whitewash on her nose She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed
