I walked out one May morning
For to take a pleasant walk,
I sat down beside an old stone wall
To hear two lovers talk.
To hear what they might say, my dear,
For to hear what they might say
So that I might know a little more about love
Before I go away.
P stands for Paddy, I suppose
J for my love John,
And the W stands for false William
And Johnny is the fairest man
Johnny is the fairest man, my dear,
Johnny is the fairest man.
And I don?t care what anybody says,
But Johnny is the fairest man.
verse 2
?Come and sit beside meself my love,
?No, I don't really have the time,
For you love another littel lad,
And your heart?s no longer mine.
Your heart?s no longer mine, my dear,
No your heart?s no longer mine.
And I don't care what anybody says
For your heart?s no longer mine.?
P stands for Paddy, I suppose
J for my love John,
And the W stands for false William
And Johnny is the fairest man
Johnny is the fairest man, my dear,
Johnny is the fairest man.
And I don?t care what anybody says,
But Johnny is the fairest man.
verse 3
I will climb a high high tree
And I?ll rob the wild bird?s nest.
Back I bring what I find there
To the girl I love the best.
To the girl I love ike best, my dear,
To the girl I love the best.
Yes, back I'll bring whatI find there
To the girl I love the best.
P stands for Paddy, I suppose
J for my love John,
And the W stands for false William
And Johnny is the fairest man
Johnny is the fairest man, my dear,
Johnny is the fairest man.
And I don?t care what anybody says,
But Johnny is the fairest man.
