P Stands for Paddy - Fiddler's Green

As I walked out on a bright May morn'

To take a pleasant walk

I sat down on an old stone wall

To hear two lovers talk

To hear what they might say, my friend

Hear what they might say

So I might learn a little about love

Before I go away

«Don't sit down beside me», he said

«Not now or any time

I hear you have another lad

Your heart’s no longer mine»

«Your heart’s no longer mine», he said

«Your heart’s no longer mine

I hear you have another lad

Your heart’s no longer mine»

«P» stands for Paddy, I suppose

«J» for my love John

«W» stands for the false Willy-O

And Johnny’s the fairest man

Johnny’s the fairest man, he said

Johnny’s the fairest man

And I don’t care what anybody says

For Johnny’s the fairest man

«I'll go and climb a tall fine tree

Up to a wild bird’s nest

When I’ll come down I’ll care some more

About the girl I love the best

The girl I love best», he said

«The girl that I love best

When I’ll come down I’ll care some more

About the girl I love the best»

«P» stands for Paddy, I suppose

«J» for my love John

«W» stands for the false Willy-O

And Johnny’s the fairest man

Johnny’s the fairest man, he said

Johnny’s the fairest man

And I don’t care what anybody says

For Johnny’s the fairest man

As I walked out on a bright May morn'

To take a pleasant walk

I sat down on an old stone wall

To hear two lovers talk

To hear what they might say, my friend

Hear what they might say

So I might learn a little about love

Before I go away

«P» stands for Paddy, I suppose

«J» for my love John

«W» stands for the false Willy-O

And Johnny’s the fairest man

Johnny’s the fairest man, he said

Johnny’s the fairest man

And I don’t care what anybody says

For Johnny’s the fairest man

And Johnny’s the fairest man

Johnny’s the fairest man, he said

Johnny’s the fairest man

And I don’t care what anybody says

For Johnny’s the fairest man
