[Verse]
C C F C
Oh, I am a Westmeath bachelor and my age is sixty-three,
G7 C
I don't intend to marry or to raise a family.
C C F C
I'm happy and contented just to lead a single life,
G7 C
And that's the reason why I don't intend to take a wife.
C C F C
With the red stuff on her finger-nails and varnish on her toes,
G7 C
The red around her auld visage and the whitewash on her nose,
C C F C
She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head,
G7 C
And that's why I'm a bachelor and I don't intend to wed.

C C F C
Last Thursday at the market in the town of Mullingar.
G7 C
A friend, he introduced me to a famous movie star.

She'd was married several times before to men of every creed,
G7 C
And she thought she had found a sucker in the bachelor from Westmeath.
C C F C
With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes,
G7 C
The red around her auld visage and the whitewash on her nose,
C C F C
She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head,
G7 C
Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed.

C C F C
Now, I'm living with me brother and his little cat and dog
G7 C
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
G7 C
And that's the reason why I never took a wife.
C C F C
With the red stuff on her fingernails and the varnish on her toes,
G7 C
The red around her auld visage and the whitewash on her nose,
C C F C
She can get a fancy barber to shave her neck and head,
G7 C
Sure that's why I'm a bachelor and don't intend to wed.
