My name is Bulderherty 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
And if I had a glass with a mile to the bottom
I'd drink to you Molly beside Donegal
With me fol the dol day
Fol the dol da-dle-dee
Fol the dol da-dle-dee
Fol the dol day
I've a grand pair of brogues I got home from the market
I wanted an excuse to get into the town
I told me old mother the seams they were leaking
I wanted some rivets to rivet them round
She clothed me fist with a bright British shilling
And says the remainder it may be your own
And when you go to town you may take a full nag
And beware to bring none of your fancy fools home
With me fol the dol day
Fol the dol da-dle-dee
Fol the dol da-dle-dee
Fol the dol day
When crossing the hills of Nagrave and Eskillen
I went to an alehouse for to take a dram
There I saw two tinkers dividing a saucepan
Although they were arguing about a tin can
And one of them there drew a clout at the other
And said you old villain I will take your life
For your saucepans are leaking they won't hold the water
Since ever Bulderherty spoke to your wife
With me fol the dol day
Fol the dol da-dle-dee
Fol the dol da-dle-dee
Fol the dol day
So when I got home and the door it was bolted
I knocked at my mother for to let me in
Be gone from this place were the words that she mentioned
For inside this door you will not venture in
And you may go back to wherever you came from
For to keep you out I'm sure it's no sin
Says I me gay woman you may hold your temper
For I can get lodgings with Nora McGlin
With me fol the dol day
Fol the dol da-dle-dee
Fol the dol da-dle-dee
Fol the dol day
