All the fire's
Climbing at walls in the white wood
And the pink and wild roses
All around us they stood
And you took off your apron
And sheltered me
Lovely Johnny
Oh lovely Johnny
What has altered your mind
And all the colour of amber of my love's hair
And it's two blue eyes
They enticed me
And his ruby lips
They being soft and fine
For many's the time they were
Pressed to mine
Oh i'll go fishing in yonder's brook
And i'll catch my love
With a line and a hook
And if he loves me as I love him
No man on earth can cut us in two
Lovely Johnny
Lovely Johnny do you remember the time
When you promised you'd marry me
Above all womankind
You pulled of your apron
Sheltered me from all wind
Lovely Johnny
Lovely Johnny
What has altered your mind
Oh i wish, i wish
But it's all in vain
And i wish to God
I'm a maiden again
But a maiden again
I will never more be
Til apples grow on an orange tree
For these apples are ripe
But they soon get rotten
A young man's heart
It soon grows cold
What car i for the world of pleasure
All i want is an honest young man
Lovely Johnny
Lovely Johnny
What has altered your mind
When you'd promise you'd marry me
Above all womankind
And you pulled off your apron
Sheltered me from all wind
Lovely Johnny
Lovely Johnny
What has altered your mind
