As I roved out on a may morning,
to take a pleasant walk,
I sat me down by an 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 a little more about love
before I go away

And P it stands for Paddy, I suppose,
and J for my love John.
W stands for the false w____-O,
but Johnny is the fairest one.
Oh Johnny is the fairest one, she said,
oh Johnny is the fairest one,
and I don't care what anybody says
for Johnny is the fairest one.

"Come sit you down on the grass" she said,
"together on the green,
since along three quaters of the year or more,
since together we have been,
since together we have been" she said,
"since together we have been,
since along three quaters of the year or more
since together we have been."

And P it stands for Paddy, I suppose,
and J for my love John
W stands for the false w____-O
but Johnny is the fairest one.
oh Johnny is the fairest one she said,
oh Johnny is the fairest one,
and I don't care what anybody says
for Johnny is the fairest one.

"Oh I will sit with you" she said,
"nor be a lover of thine,
far here you 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,
far here you in love with another pretty girl
and your heart's no longer mine."

And P it stands for Paddy, I suppose,
and J for my love John.
W stands for the false w____-O,
but Johnny is the fairest one.
Oh Johnny is the fairest one she said,
oh Johnny is the fairest one,
and I don't care what anybody says
but Johnny is the fairest one,
and I don't care what anybody says
for Johnny is the fairest one.
