P Stands for Paddy (Lament for Johnny)

[00:21.93] As I went out on a bright morning
[00:24.01] To take a pleasant walk
[00:26.24] I sat down beside an old stone wall
[00:28.19] Just to hear two lovers talk
[00:30.20] For to hear two lovers talk, my love
[00:32.58] To hear what they might say
[00:34.68] So, I might learn a little more, love
[00:36.65] Before I go away
[00:38.95] P it stands for Paddy, I suppose
[00:41.19] J for my love John
[00:43.25] W stands for false William O
[00:45.22] But Johnny is the fairest man
[00:47.60] "Johnny is the fairest man," she said
[00:49.66] "Johnny is the fairest man
[00:51.83] I don't care what anybody says
[00:53.62] For Johnny is the fairest man"
[00:57.51]
[01:11.75] Well, come on sit beside me, love
[01:13.99] Beside me on the green
[01:15.95] It's a long three quarters of a year or more
[01:17.98] Since together we have been
[01:20.15] Since together we have been, my dear
[01:22.45] Together we have been
[01:24.60] It's a long three quarters of a year or more
[01:26.60] Since together we have been
[01:28.66] Oh, I'll not sit beside you, love
[01:31.04] Now or any other time
[01:32.92] For I hear you love another little lass
[01:35.03] And your heart's no longer mine
[01:37.27] "And your heart's no longer mine" she said
[01:39.45] "Your heart's no longer mine
[01:41.65] I don't care what anybody says
[01:43.40] Your heart's no longer mine"
[01:46.30]
[02:35.57] So, I will climb a high, high tree
[02:37.80] And rob the wild bird's nest
[02:40.10] Back I'll bring what I find there
[02:41.96] To the girl I love the best
[02:44.08] "To the girl I love the best," he said
[02:46.37] "The girl I love best
[02:48.52] Back I'll bring what I find there
[02:50.43] To the girl I love the best"
[02:52.77] P it stands for Paddy, I suppose
[02:54.97] J for my love John
[02:57.05] W stands for false William O
[02:59.06] But Johnny is the fairest man
[03:01.32] "Johnny is the fairest man," she said
[03:03.37] "Johnny is the fairest man
[03:05.28] I don't care what anybody says
[03:07.46] For Johnny is the fairest man"
[03:10.07]
[04:03.36] Johnny is the one I love, understand
[04:15.13] Here beside me on the green
[04:24.44] I hate to love a star
[04:30.20] I hate to love a star
[04:36.08] And rob the wild bird's nest
[04:40.25] For Johnny is the one I love
[04:54.30] Ooh-ooh-ooh
[05:00.93]
[05:28.83] I hate to love a star
[05:46.38] The farther I go away (the farther I go away)
[05:55.81] The farther I go away
[05:58.77]
