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.
