with you, my johnny

Singer:kingston trio, the

oh

do you know my johnny

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

i'll dance the buckles of my shoes with you

johnny lad
