SAMUEL LOVER
(1797-1868)
BARNEY O'HEA
NOW let me alone, though I know you won't, Impudent Barney O'Hea I It makes me outrageous When you're so contagious, And you'd better look out for the stout Corney Creagh; For he is the boy That believes I'm his joy, So you'd better behave yourself, Barney O'Hea ! Impudent Barney, None of your blarney, Impudent Barney O'Hea !
I hope you're not going to Bandon Fair,
For indeed I'm not wanting to meet you there,
Impudent Barney O'Hea !
For Corney's at Cork,
And my brother's at work, And my mother sits spinning at home all the day,
So no one will be there
Of poor me to take care, So I hope you won't follow me, Barney O'Hea !
Impudent Barney,
None of your blarney,
Impudent Barney O'Hea!
