Bridget Flynn — текст песни (Irish Rovers)

I`ve a nice little house and a cow yard too with grass.
I`ve a plant garden running by the door.
I`ve a shelter for the hens and a stable for the ass
Now, what could a man want more?
I don`t know, maybe so,
But a bachelor is easy and he`s free.
But I`ve lots to look after, though I`m living all alone.
Sure nobody`s looking after me.
My father often tells me I should go and have a try
To find a girl that owns a bit of land.
And I know, the way he says it, that there`s someone on his mind.
And my mother has the whole thing planned.
I don`t know, maybe so,
But t`would mollify them greatly to agree.
Now, there`s little Bridget Flynn, sure it`s her I`d love to win,
But she never has an eye for me.
Now there`s a little girl who`s worth her weight in gold.
And that`s a decent dowry, don`t you see?
And I mean to go and ask her just as soon as I get bold,
If she`ll come and have an eye for me.
Will she go? I don`t know.
But I`d love to have her sitting on my knee.
And I`ll sing like a thrush in a hawthorn bush
If she`ll come and have an eye for me.
