The Banks Of The Roses
Traditional Irish folk song.
C G C
On the banks of the roses me love and I lay down.
F C G C
And I took_out me fiddle_for to play me love a tune,
F C G Am
In the middle of the tune, she smiled and she said,
C F G C
Oh me Johnny, lovely Johnny don't you leave me.
C G C
[2]When I was a young la-d I heard me father say,
F C G C
That he would rather see_me_dead,and buried in the clay,
F C G Am
Sooner than be married to any run-a-way,
C F G C
By the lovely swe-et banks of the roses.
C G C
[3]Well now I'm no runaway and sure I'll let them know,
F C G C
That I can take the bottle or can_leave it a-lone,
F C G Am
And_if_her daddy doesn't like me he can keep his daught'r_at home,
C F G C
And then Johnny will go roving with an_oth-er.
C G C
[4]And if ever I get married, will be in th' month of May,
F C G C
When the leaves they are green,and the meadows they are gay,
F C G Am
And me and me true love will sit and sport and play.
C F G C
By the lovely swe-et banks of the roses.
