P Stands for Paddy (Lament for Johnny)

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 they might say
 So, I might learn a little more, love
 Before I go away
 P it 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
 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 care what anybody says
 Your heart's no longer mine"

 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"
 P it 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

 I don't care what anybody says

 Johnny is the one I love, understand
 Here beside me on the green
 I hate to love a star
 I hate to love a star
 And rob the wild bird's nest
 For Johnny is the one I love
 Ooh-ooh-ooh

 I hate to love a star
 The farther I go away (the farther I go away)
 The farther I go away
