Oh My Johnny (Banks of the Roses) Lyrics by Chasing Abbey

0

"Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny don't you leave me"
[Chorus]
On the banks of the Roses me love and I sat down
And I took out me fiddle for me 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 me love and I sat down
And I took out me fiddle for me 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 mе"
[Verse 1]
Well, when I was a young one I hеard me 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
[Chorus]
On the banks of the Roses me love and I sat down
And I took out me fiddle for me 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"
[Post-Chorus]
Leave me
Oh my Johnny, Johnny
Oh my Johnny
"Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny don't you leave me"
[Chorus]
On the banks of the Roses me love and I sat down
And I took out me fiddle for me 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" (Johnny, Johnny)
And in the middle of the tune she smiled and she said:
"Oh my Johnny, oh my Johnny don't you leave me"
