Johnny Johnny
Oh Johnny, Johnny, but love is bonny
A little while when first it's new
Ah, but love grows old and waxes cold
Fades, fades away like morning dew
Oh Johnny, Johnny, but you are nice, love
In keeping company with me so long
For you were the first boy that e'er I had, love
So kiss me, Johnny, before you go
One kiss from me you will never get, love
For you have caused me so sore to sigh
Nor will I grant you that sweet request, love
That ofttime you did me deny
If I should grant you that sweet request, love
My heart, on you, I might then bestow
But as good a lover as you will come, love
So I'll not hinder you to go
For I have stepped the steps of love, love
And I have stepped a step too low
Were it to be done that I have done, love
It would never be done by me, I know
It's o'er the moss that you need not cross, love
And o'er the moor that you need not ride
For I have gotten a new sweetheart, love
And you may go get yourself a bride
A little while when first it's new
Ah, but love grows old and waxes cold
Fades, fades away like morning dew
Oh Johnny, Johnny, but you are nice, love
In keeping company with me so long
For you were the first boy that e'er I had, love
So kiss me, Johnny, before you go
One kiss from me you will never get, love
For you have caused me so sore to sigh
Nor will I grant you that sweet request, love
That ofttime you did me deny
If I should grant you that sweet request, love
My heart, on you, I might then bestow
But as good a lover as you will come, love
So I'll not hinder you to go
For I have stepped the steps of love, love
And I have stepped a step too low
Were it to be done that I have done, love
It would never be done by me, I know
It's o'er the moss that you need not cross, love
And o'er the moor that you need not ride
For I have gotten a new sweetheart, love
And you may go get yourself a bride
