charles villiers stanford - johneen lyrics

sure he’s five months old, an’ he’s two foot long
baby johneen;
watch yerself now, for he’s terrible sthrong
baby johneen
an’ his fists ‘ill be up if ye make any slips
he has finger ends like the daisy+tips
but he’ll have ye attend to the words of his lips
will johneen

there’ n0body can rightly tell the colour of his eyes
this johneen;
for they’re partly o’ the earth an’ still they’re partly o’ the skies
like johneen
so far has he’s thravelled he’s been laughin’ all the way
for the little soul is quare an’ wise, the little heart is g+y;
an’ he likes the merry daffodils, he thinks they’d do to play
with johneen

he’ll sail a boat yet, if he only has his luck
young johneen
for he takes to the wather like any little duck
boy johneen;
sure them are the hands now to pull on a rope
an’ nate feet for walkin’ the deck on a slope
but the ship she must wait a wee while yet, i hope
for johneen
for we couldn’t do wantin’ him, not just yet
och, johneen;
‘tis you that are the daisy, an’ you that are the pet
wee johneen
here’s to your health, an’ we’ll dhrink it to+night
slainte gal avic machree! live and do right
slainte gal avourneen! may your days be bright
johneen!
