1. As I walked out on a bright May morn, To take a pleasant walk. I sat me down upon an old stone wall, To hear two lovers talk. For to hear what they might say my friend, Hear what they might say. So I might learn a little more about life Before I go away. Refrain: P stands for Paddy, I suppose. J for my love John. W stands bold 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 For Johnny is the fairest man.

2. Don't sit you down beside me, he said. Not now nor any other day. I hear that you have another little lad And your heart's no longer mine. Your heart's no longer mine he said, Your heart's no longer mine. I hear that you have another little lad And your heart's no longer mine. Refrain: 3. I'll go climb a tall fine tree, Up to a Wild Bird's nest. When I'll come down I'll care a little more About the girl that I love best. The girl that I love best he said, The girl that I love best. When I'll come down I'll care a little more About the girl that I love best. Refrain:
