P Stands for Paddy

As I walked out on a bright May morn'

To take a pleasant walk

I sit 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 'bout love

Before I go away

Don't sit down beside me he said

Not now or anytime, 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 the 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

And again and again

As I walked out on a bright May morn'

To take a pleasant walk

I sit 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 'bout 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

P-J-W, 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
