Firkin My Love John song lyrics

As I walked out in the bright morning,

to take a pleasant walk,

I sat down beside an old stone wall,

just to hear two lovers talk

just to hear two lovers talk my love,

to hear what they might say,

so I might learn a little more love before I go away.

"P" it stands for Paddy I suppose,

"J" for my love John,

"W" stands for false Willy-o,

but Johnny is the fairest man

Johnny is the fairest man she said,

Johnny is the fairest man,

I don't care what anybody says for Johnny is the fairest man.

Come and sit beside me my love

nah, I don't have the time

for you love another little lad

and your hearts no longer mine

and your hearts no longer mine he said,

hearts no longer mine!

I don't care what anybody says for your hearts no longer mine.

"P" it stands for Paddy I suppose,

"J" for my love John,

"W" stands for false Willy-o,

but Johnny is the fairest man

Johnny is the fairest man she said,

Johnny is the fairest man,

I don't care what anybody says for Johnny is the fairest man.

Well I will climb a high high tree

and rob a wild birds nest,

back I'll bring what I find there

to the girl I love the best

to the girl I love the best he said

to the girl I love the best

back I'll bring what I find there

to the girl I love the best.

"P" it stands for Paddy I suppose,

"J" for my love John,

"W" stands for false Willy-o,

but Johnny is the fairest man

Johnny is the fairest man she said,

Johnny is the fairest man,

I don't care what anybody says for Johnny is the fairest man.
