'p' stands for paddy i suppose - planxty lyrics

Loading...

p stands for paddy, i suppose
j for my love john,
and the w stands for false william
and johnny is the fairest man

johnny is the fairest man, my dear,
johnny is the fairest man.
and i don’t care what anybody says,
but johnny is the fairest man.
i walked out one may morning
for to take a pleasant walk,
i sat meself down on an old stone wall
to hear two lovers talk.

to hear what they might say, my dear,
for to hear what they might say
so that i might know a little more about love
before i go away.
p stands for paddy, i suppose
j for my love john,
and the w stands for false william
and johnny is the fairest man

“come and sit you down beside meself,
over here on the pleasant green,
for it’s been three quarters of a year or more
since together we have been.”

“no, i’ll not sit by you,” says she,
“not today nor at any other time!
for i hear you love another pretty girl,
and your heart’s no longer mine.

your heart’s no longer mine, my dear,
no your heart’s no longer mine.
it’s been three quarters of a year—no more—
and your heart’s no longer mine.”
p stands for paddy, i suppose
j for my love john,
and the w stands for false william
and johnny is the fairest man

i will climb a tall tall tree
and i’ll rob the wild bird’s nest.
then i’ll come down with what i find there
to the arms that i like best.

to the arms that i like best, my dear,
to the arms that i like best.
yes, i’ll climb right down and run straight home
to the arms that i like best.
p stands for paddy, i suppose
j for my love john,
and the w stands for false william
and johnny is the fairest man

johnny is the fairest man, my dear,
johnny is the fairest man—
and now i know a little more about love
before i travel on.
