| Oh, do you know my Johnny, he is down in yonder lea? |
| He’s sneakin' 'round and
|
| creepin' and he’s, aye, watchin' me.
|
| He’s pullin' and he’s teasin' but his meanin’s not so bad. |
| If it’s ever going
|
| to be, tell me now, Johnny lad.
|
| Tell me now, my Johnny laddie, tell me now, my Johnny lad. |
| If it’s ever going
|
| to be, tell me now Johnny lad.
|
| When the sheep are in the fold and the cows are in the byre and other lads and
|
| lasses sittin' 'round a-roarin' fire.
|
| There’s me, a silly lassie, just as like as if I’s mad, through the nooks and
|
| barley stooks, teasin' you, Johnny lad.
|
| Teasin' you, my Johnny laddie, teasin' you, my Johnny lad. |
| Through the nooks
|
| and barley stooks, teasin' you, Johnny lad.
|
| Oh, Johnny’s blythe and bonnie. |
| He’s the pride o' yonder lea and I love him
|
| best of any though he’s, aye, teasin' me.
|
| Though he teases me and squeezes me and tickles me like mad. |
| None comes near me that can cheer me like my own Johnny lad.
|
| And it’s you, my Johnny laddie, aye, it’s you, my Johnny lad. |
| None comes near
|
| me that can cheer me like my own Johnny lad.
|
| Oh, my Johnny’s not a gentleman nor yet is he a laird but I would follow Johnny
|
| lad, although he was a card.
|
| Oh, Johnny is a bonnie lad. |
| He was once a lad of mine and I’ve never had a better lad though I’ve had twenty-nine.
|
| And with you, my Johnny laddie, and with you, my Johnny lad, oh,
|
| I’ll dance the buckles of my shoes with you, Johnny lad.
|
| And with you, my Johnny laddie, and with you, my Johnny lad, oh,
|
| I’ll dance the buckles of my shoes with you, Johnny lad. |
