lyrics

As I roved out on a may morning,
To take a pleasant walk,
I sat me down by an old, old tree
For to hear two lovers talk
For to hear what they might say my dear,
For to hear what they might say,
So I might know little more about love
Before I go away

And P stands for Paddy I suppose,
And J for my love John,
W stands for the false Wily-O
But Johnny’s the fairest one
Oh Johnny’s the fairest one she said,
Oh Johnny’s the fairest one
And I don’t care what anybody says,
For Johnny’s the fairest one

Come sit you down on the grass he said
Together on the green
’Tis a long three quarters of the year or more
Since together we have been
Since together we have been he said,
Since together we have been
’Tis a long three quarters of the year or more
Since together we have been

And P stands for Paddy I suppose,
And J for my love John,
W stands for the false Willo
But Johnny’s the fairest one
Oh Johnny’s the fairest one she said,
Oh Johnny’s the fairest one
And I don’t care what anybody says,
For Johnny’s the fairest one

Oh I’ll not sit with you she said,
Nor be a lover of thy,
For I hear you’re in love with another pretty girl,
And your heart’s no longer mine.
And your heart’s no longer mine, she said,
And your heart’s no longer mine
For I hear you’re in love with another pretty girl,
And your heart’s no longer mine.

And P stands for Paddy I suppose,
And J for my love John,
W stands for the false Willo
But Johnny’s the fairest one
Oh Johnny’s the fairest one she said,
Oh Johnny’s the fairest one
And I don’t care what anybody says,
For Johnny’s the fairest one

And I don’t care what anybody says,
For Johnny’s the fairest one.
