P. Stands for Paddy
[Verse 1]
I walked out one May morning
For to take a pleasant walk,
I sat down beside 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.
[Chorus]
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 donât care what anybody says,
But Johnny is the fairest man.
[Verse 2]
âCome and sit beside meself my love,
âNo, I don t really have the time,
For you love another littel lad,
And your heartâs no longer mine.
Your heartâs no longer mine, my dear,
No your heartâs no longer mine.
And I don t care what anybody says
For your heartâs no longer mine.â
[Chorus]
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 donât care what anybody says,
But Johnny is the fairest man.
[Verse 3]
I will climb a high high tree
And Iâll rob the wild birdâs nest.
Back I bring what I find there
To the girl I love the best.
To the girl I love ike best, my dear,
To the girl I love the best.
Yes, back I ll bring whatI find there
To the girl I love the best.
[Chorus]
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 donât care what anybody says,
But Johnny is the fairest man.
