As I roved out on a May morning to have a pleasant walk W:Oh, I sat down by an old oak tree, to hear two lovers talk W:to hear what they might say, my dear, to hear what they might say, W:so I might know a little more 'bout love before I went away. W: W:2. Come and sit on the grass, he said, on the dewy grass, said he W:It's a long three quarters of a year or more since together we have been W:Since together we have been, my dear, since together we have been W:It's a long three quarters of a year or more since together we have been W: W:3. Oh, I'll not sit on the grass, she said, now or at any other time W:My heart is given to another fair one, and yours is no longer mine W:Yours is no longer mine, my dear, yours is no longer mine W:My heart is given to another fair one, and yours is no longer mine. W: W:Chorus: W:P stands for Paddy I suppose, J for my love John, W:W stands for false Willie-o, but Johnny is the fairest one W:Johnny is the fairest man, my dear, Johnny is the fairest man, W:My heart is given to another fair one, for Johnny is the fairest man. W: W:4. I'll climb up an old oak tree, I'll rob a little bird's nest W:I'll fall down without breaking leaf or flower to the arms I love the best W:To the arms I love the best, my dear, to the arms I love the best W:I'll fall down without breaking leaf or flower to the arms I love the best. W: W:5. And I don't care what an old woman says, her days they are gone W:Neither do I care what a young maiden says, she's false to many a man W:False to many a man, my dear, false to many a man W:Neither do I care what a young maiden says, she's false to many a man. W: W:Chorus W: W:Alternate verses: W:3. Oh, I'll not sit on the grass, she said, not now or at any other time W:For you're in love with another fair one, and your heart is no longer mine W:Your heart is no longer mine, my dear, your heart is no longer mine W:For you're in love with another fair one, and your heart is no longer mine W: W:4. I'll climb up an old oak tree, I'll rob a little bird's nest W:I'll fall down without breaking leaf or flower to the arms I love the best W:To the arms I love the best, my dear, to the arms I love the best W:I'll fall down without breaking leaf or flower to the arms I love the best. W: W:5. And I don't care what an old woman says, for her days they nearly are done, W:And I don't care what a young man says, for his promise is too many's the one W:His promise is too many's the one, my dear, his promise is too many's the one W:And I don't care what a young man says, for his promise is too many's the one
