| [00:01.700] |
|
| [00:20.070] |
The high, high walls of Derry look so dismal and grey, |
| [00:26.260] |
And so does lovely Johnny, he is gone far, far away, |
| [00:31.720] |
And He's gone away to Scotland some sweetheart for to see. |
| [00:37.560] |
May the high powers above send him safe home to me. |
| [00:43.170] |
|
| [00:43.420] |
Oh, Johnny, lovely Johnny, do you mind the day |
| [00:49.250] |
When you came to my window to steal me away? |
| [00:55.770] |
You promised that you'd marry me above all female kind. |
| [01:01.590] |
Oh, Johnny, lovely Johnny, what has altered your mind? |
| [01:26.830] |
|
| [01:27.080] |
Well the first time that I met you, 'tis well I do own, |
| [01:32.920] |
'Twas in my father's garden in the County Tyrone, |
| [01:39.470] |
With my white apron round us, to shield out the wind. |
| [01:45.100] |
Oh, Johnny, lovely Johnny, what has altered your mind? |
| [01:50.750] |
|
| [01:51.000] |
And the next place we courted, was in yonder green grove, |
| [01:53.000] |
|
| [01:56.820] |
Where the blackberry bushes around us they stood, |
| [02:02.730] |
Where the oak and the apple around us did twine, |
| [02:08.560] |
Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny, what has altered your mind? |
| [02:32.310] |
|
| [02:32.560] |
A bunch of blue ribbons I will tie up and wear, |
| [02:39.070] |
And a wreath of forget-me-nots I will twine round my hair. |
| [02:44.790] |
And if ever he returns again, I will greet him with joy, |
| [02:50.490] |
And I will kiss the lips of my own Johnny boy. |
