As I walked out on a bright May morn' To take a pleasant walk I sat down on an old stone wall To hear two lovers talk To hear what they might say, my friend Hear what they might say So I might learn a little about love Before I go away
"Don't sit down beside me", he said "Not now or any time I hear you have another lad Your heart's no longer mine" "Your heart's no longer mine", he said "Your heart's no longer mine I hear you have another lad Your heart's no longer mine"
"P" stands for Paddy, I suppose "J" for my love John "W" stands for the false Willy-O And Johnny's the fairest man Johnny's the fairest man, he said Johnny's the fairest man And I don't care what anybody says For Johnny's the fairest man
"I'll go and climb a tall fine tree Up to a wild bird's nest When I'll come down I'll care some more About the girl I love the best The girl I love best", he said "The girl that I love best When I'll come down I'll care some more About the girl I love the best"
