Key: D major
Verse 1
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
G
D
of the roses
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
G
D
And I and my true love can
sit and sport and play
