Oh My Johnny (Banks Of The Roses)

Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny, don't you leave me

On the banks of roses my love and I sat down
I took out my fiddle for my love to play a tune
And in the middle of the tune she smiled and she said
Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny, don't you leave me

On the banks of the roses my love and I sat down
I took out my fiddle for my love to play a tune
And in the middle of the tune she smiled and she said
Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny, don't you leave me

Well when I was just a young one I heard my father say
That he would 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 my love and I sat down
I took out my fiddle for my love to play a tune
And in the middle of the tune she smiled and she said
Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny, don't you leave me

And in the middle of the tune she smiled and she said
Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny, don't you leave me

And in the middle of the tune she smiled and she said
Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny, don't you leave me

On the banks of the roses my love and I sat down
I took out my fiddle for my love to play a tune
And in the middle of the tune she smiled and she said
Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny, don't you leave me

Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny
And in the middle of the tune she smiled and she said
Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny, don't you leave me
