Verse 1
(D major) On the banks of the roses,
my love and I sat down
And I took out my violin
to play my love a tune
In the middle of the tune,
O she sighed and she said
O Johnny, lovely Johnny,
Would you leave me
O when I was a young man,
I heard my father say
That he'd rather see me dead
and buried in the clay
Sooner than be married to any runaway
By the lovely sweet banks
of the roses (G major) (D major)
O then I am no runaway
and soon I'll let them know
I can take a good glass or leave it alone
And the man that doesn't like me,
he can keep
his daughter home
And young Johnny will
go roving with another
And if ever I get married,
twill be in the month of May
When the leaves they are
green and the meadows
they are gay
And (G major) I and my (D major) true love can
sit and sport and play
Outro 1
On the lovely sweet banks of the roses
(D major) (D major)
(D major)
