[Verse]
C C F
Oh, I am a Westmeath bachelor and my age
C
is sixty-three,
G7 C
I don't intend to marry or to raise a
family.
C C F
I'm happy and contented just to lead a
C
single life,
G7
And that's the reason why I don't intend
C
to take a wife.
[Chorus]
C C F
With the red stuff on her finger-nails and
C
varnish on her toes,
G7
The red around her auld visage and the
C
whitewash on her nose,
C C
She can get a fancy barber to shave her
F C
neck and head,
G7
And that's why I'm a bachelor and I don't
C
intend to wed.
[Verse]
C C F
Last Thursday at the market in the town of
C
Mullingar.
G7 C
A friend, he introduced me to a famous
movie star.
C C F
She'd was married several times before to
C
men of every creed,
G7
And she thought she had found a sucker in
C
the bachelor from Westmeath.
[Chorus]
C C F
With the red stuff on her fingernails and
C
the varnish on her toes,
G7
The red around her auld visage and the
C
whitewash on her nose,
C C
She can get a fancy barber to shave her
F C
neck and head,
G7
Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and don't
C
intend to wed.
[Verse]
C C
Now, I'm living with me brother and his
F C
little cat and dog
G7
I'm earning seven and six a week,
C
a-working on the bog
C C F
Why should I change this life of ease for
C
one of struggle and strife
G7 C
And that's the reason why I never took a
wife.
[Chorus]
C C F
With the red stuff on her fingernails and
C
the varnish on her toes,
G7 C
The red around her auld visage and the
whitewash on her nose,
C C
She can get a fancy barber to shave her
F C
neck and head,
G7
Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and don't
C
intend to wed.
