Banks Of Red Roses |
When I was a wee thing and easy led astray |
It’s before I would work I would rather sport and play |
It’s before I would work I would rather sport and play |
With my Johnny on the banks of red roses |
On the banks of red roses my love and I sat down |
He took out his fiddle and began to play a tune |
And when the tune was ended, his love broke down and cried |
Saying, «Johnny, o Johnny, never leave me» |
He took out his pocket knife and it was long and sharp |
And he plunged it through and through his bonny lassie’s heart |
He plunged it through and through his bonny lassie’s heart |
And he left her to die on the roses |
When I was a wee thing and easy led astray |
It’s before I would work I would rather sport and play |
It’s before I would work I would rather sport and play |
With my Johnny on the banks of red roses |
