Lyrics
On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down
And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune
In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said
"Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me"
When I was a young boy I heard me 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
On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down
And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune
In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said
"Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me"
And then I am no runaway and soon I'll let them know
That I can take a bottle or can leave it alone
If her daddy doesn't like it, he can keep his daughter at home
And young Johnny will go rovin' with some other
On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down
I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune
In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said
"Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me"
When I get married 'twill be in the month of May
When the leaves they are green and the meadows they are gay
And me and me true love we'll sit and sport and play
By the lovely sweet banks of the roses
On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down
And I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune
In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said
"Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me"
On the banks of the roses me love and I sat down
I took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune
In the middle of the tune-o she sighed and she said
"Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me"
"Oh Johnny, lovely Johnny don't ya leave me"
