he is down in yonder lea?
he's sneakin' 'round and creepin' and he's
aye
watchin' me
he's pullin' and he's teasin' but his meanin's not so bad
if it's ever going to be
tell me now
johnny lad
tell me now
my johnny laddie
tell me now
my johnny lad
if it's ever going to be
tell me now johnny lad
when the sheep are in the fold and the cows are in the byre and other lads and lasses sittin' 'round a-roarin' fire
there's me
a silly lassie
just as like as if i's mad
through the nooks and barley stooks
teasin' you
johnny lad
teasin' you
my johnny laddie
teasin' you
my johnny lad
through the nooks and barley stooks
teasin' you
johnny lad
oh
johnny's blythe and bonnie
he's the pride o' yonder lea and i love him best of any though he's
aye
teasin' me
though he teases me and squeezes me and tickles me like mad
none comes near me that can cheer me like my own johnny lad
and it's you
my johnny laddie
aye
it's you
my johnny lad
none comes near me that can cheer me like my own johnny lad
oh
my johnny's not a gentleman nor yet is he a laird but i would follow johnny lad
although he was a card
oh
johnny is a bonnie lad
he was once a lad of mine and i've never had a better lad though i've had twenty-nine
and with you
my johnny laddie
and with you
my johnny lad
oh
i'll dance the buckles of my shoes with you
johnny lad
and with you
my johnny laddie
and with you
my johnny lad
oh
