P Stands for Paddy

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»
«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
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
«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
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
