As I roved out on a May morning to have a pleasant walkOh, I sat down by an old oak tree, to hear two lovers talkto hear what they might say, my dear, to hear what they might say,so I might know a little more 'bout love before I went away.2. Come and sit on the grass, he said, on the dewy grass, said heIt's a long three quarters of a year or more since together we have beenSince together we have been, my dear, since together we have beenIt's a long three quarters of a year or more since together we have been3. Oh, I'll not sit on the grass, she said, now or at any other timeMy heart is given to another fair one, and yours is no longer mineYours is no longer mine, my dear, yours is no longer mineMy heart is given to another fair one, and yours is no longer mine.Chorus:P stands for Paddy I suppose, J for my love John,W stands for false Willie-o, but Johnny is the fairest oneJohnny is the fairest man, my dear, Johnny is the fairest man,My heart is given to another fair one, for Johnny is the fairest man.4.
