the apex singers - the banks of the roses lyrics

on the banks of the roses my love and i sat down
and i took out my fiddle for to play my love a tune
and in the middle of the tune+o she sighed and she said
“oh johnny, lovely johnny won’t you leave me?”

well, when i was a young man i heard my father say
that he’d rather see me dead and buried in the clay
sooner than be married to any runaway
by the lovely sweet banks of the roses

[chorus]
on the banks of the roses my love and i sat down
and i took out my fiddle for to play my love a tune
in the middle of the tune+o she sighed and she said
“oh johnny, lovely johnny won’t you leave me?”

well, then i am no runaway and soon i’ll let them know
i can take a bottle or can leave it alone
and if her daddy doesn’t like it he can keep his daughter at home
and young johnny will go rovin’ with another

[chorus]
on the banks of the roses my love and i sat down
and i took out me fiddle for to play my love a tune
and in the middle of the tune+oh, she sighed and she said:
“oh johnny, lovely johnny won’t ya leave me?”
and when i e’er get married, ‘t’will be in the month of may
when the leaves they are green and the meadows they are g+y
and i and me true love we’ll sit and sport and play
on the lovely sweet banks of the roses

[chorus]
on the banks of the roses my love and i sat down
and i took out my fiddle for to play my love a tune
and in the middle of the tune+oh, she sighed and she said
“oh johnny, lovely johnny won’t ya leave me”
