The Banks of the Roses |
On the Banks of the Roses me love and I sat down |
And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune |
And in the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said |
Oro Johnny, lovely Johnny don’t ya leave me |
When I was a young boy I heard me father say |
That he’d rather see me dead and buried in the clay |
Sooner than be married to any runaway |
By the lovely sweet banks of the roses |
On the Banks of the Roses me love and I sat down |
And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune |
And in the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said |
Oro Johnny, lovely Johnny don’t ya leave me |
And then I am no runaway and soon I’ll let them know |
That I can take a bottle or can leave it alone |
And if her daddy doesn’t like it he can keep his daughter at home |
And young Johnny will go rovin' with some other |
On the Banks of the Roses me love and I sat down |
And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune |
And in the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said |
Oro Johnny, lovely Johnny don’t ya leave me |
And when I get married t’will be in the month of May |
When the leaves they are green and the meadows they are gay |
And me and me true love we’ll sit and sport and play |
By the lovely sweet banks of the roses |
On the Banks of the Roses me love and I sat down |
And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune |
And in the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said |
Oro Johnny, lovely Johnny don’t ya leave me |
