Bridget Flynn The Irish Rovers

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
