Johnny Lovely Johnny - Cara Dillon
The high high walls of Derry
Look so dismal and grey
And so does lovely Johnny
He is gone far far away
And He's gone away to Scotland
Some sweetheart for to see
May the high powers above
Send him safe home to me
Oh Johnny lovely Johnny
Do you mind the day
When you came to
My window to steal me away
You promised that you'd
Marry me above all female kind
Oh Johnny lovely Johnny
What has altered your mind
Well the first time that I met you
'Tis well I do own
'Twas in my father's garden
In the County Tyrone
With my white apron round us
To shield out the wind
Oh Johnny lovely Johnny
What has altered your mind
And the next place we courted
Was in yonder green grove
Where the blackberry
Bushes around us they stood
Where the oak and the
Apple around us did twine
Oh Johnny lovely Johnny
What has altered your mind
A bunch of blue ribbons
I will tie up and wear
And a wreath of forget-me-nots
I will twine round my hair
And if ever he returns again
I will greet him with joy
And I will kiss the lips
Of my own Johnny boy
