As I walked out on a bright May morn' |
|
To take a pleasant walk |
|
I sat down on an old stone wall |
|
To hear two lovers talk |
|
To hear what they might say, my friend |
|
Hear what they might say |
|
So I might learn a little about love |
|
Before I go away |
|
"Don't sit down beside me", he said |
|
"Not now or any time |
|
I hear you have another lad |
|
Your heart's no longer mine" |
|
"Your heart's no longer mine", he said |
|
"Your heart's no longer mine |
|
I hear you have another lad |
|
Your heart's no longer mine" |
|
"P" stands for Paddy, I suppose |
|
"J" for my love John |
|
"W" stands for the false Willy-O |
|
And Johnny's the fairest man |
|
Johnny's the fairest man, he said |
|
Johnny's the fairest man |
|
And I don't care what anybody says |
|
For Johnny's the fairest man |
|
"I'll go and climb a tall fine tree |
|
Up to a wild bird's nest |
|
When I'll come down I'll care some more |
|
About the girl I love the best |
|
The girl I love best", he said |
|
"The girl that I love best |
|
When I'll come down I'll care some more |
|
About the girl I love the best" |
|
"P" stands for Paddy, I suppose |
|
"J" for my love John |
|
"W" stands for the false Willy-O |
|
And Johnny's the fairest man |
|
Johnny's the fairest man, he said |
|
Johnny's the fairest man |
|
And I don't care what anybody says |
