Cara Dillon - P Stands For Paddy (Lament For Johnny) lyrics
Your rating:
As I went out a bright morning to take a pleasant walk I sat down beside on an old stone wall just to hear two lovers talk. For 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 But Johnny is the fairest man" Well come and sit beside me, love, beside me on the green It's a long three quarters of a year or more since together we have been Since together we have been, my dear, together we have been It's a long three quarters of a year or more since together we have been "Oh, I'll not sit beside you,love, now or any other time For I hear you love another little lass and your heart's no longer mine "And your heart's no longer mine," she said, "your heart's no longer mine I don't care what anybody says your heart's no longer mine." So I will climb a high, high tree and I rob a wild bird's 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, "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 But Johnny is the fairest man" Johnny is the fairest man He's beside me on the green His true love is told Your love is told
