Letra de Banks Of The Roses

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 smiled and she said: "dear johnny, lovely johnny, would you leave me?" When i was a young one 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 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 smiled and she said: "dear johnny, lovely johnny, would you leave me?" Well then i am a runaway and soon i'll let him know That 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 then johnny will go roving with another 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 smiled and she said: "dear johnny, lovely johnny, would you leave me?" And when i get married it will be in the month of may When the leaves they are green and the meadows they are gay And me and my true love we'll sit and sport and play By the lovely sweet banks of the roses 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 smiled and she said… "dear johnny, lovely johnny, would you leave me?"
