P Stands for Paddy (Lament for Johnny) Lyrics & Tabs by Cara Dillon
P Stands for Paddy (Lament for Johnny)
guitar chords lyrics
As I went out on a bright morning
to take a pleasant walk.
I sat down beside an old stone wall
just to hear two lovers talk
For to hear two lovers talk, my love
To hear what thay might say.
So I might learn a little more, love
before I go away.
Chorus:
P stands for Paddy, I suppose.
J for my love John.
W stands for false William O
But Johnny is the fairest man.
"Johnny is the fairest man," she said
"Johnny is the fairest man.
But Johnny is the fairest man.
"Johnny is the fairest man," she said
"Johnny is the fairest man.
I don't care what anybody says
for Johnny is the fairest man."
Well come on sit beside me, love
Beside me on the green
It's a long three quarters of a year or more
Since together we have been
Since together we have been, my dear
Together we have been
It's a long three quarters of a year or more
since together we have been
Oh I'll not sit beside you, love
Now or any other time
For I hear you love another little lass
and your heart's no longer mine.
"And your heart's no longer mine" she said,
"Your heart's no longer mine.
I don't cara what anybody says
Your heart's no longer mine."
Chorus
So I will climb a high, high tree,
And rob the wild Bird's nest.
Back I'll bring what I find there
To the girl I love the best
"To the girl I love the best," he said
"The girl I love best
Back I'll bring what I find there
To the girl I love the best."
Chorus
