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. 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. verse 2 “Come and sit beside meself my love, “No, I don't really have the time, For you love another littel lad, And your heart’s no longer mine. Your heart’s no longer mine, my dear, No your heart’s no longer mine. And I don't care what anybody says For 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 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. verse 3 I will climb a high high tree And I’ll rob the wild bird’s 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. 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.
