[D] He jumped.
On the banks of the Rose is me lovin' nice a town
And I took out me fiddle for to play me lovin' tune
And in the middle of the tune- oh, she smiled and she said
Yeah, a jolly lovely Johnny [A] was your [D]
lady
Well, when I was a young one I heard my father say
That he'd rather see me [A] dead and buried [D] in the clay
Sooner than be [A] married to any [D] runaway
By the lovely sweet banks [A] of the [D] roses
On the banks of the roses me lover lays her down
And they took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune
[G] In the middle [D] of the tune [A]-o she smiled and [D] she said
Get her Johnny, lovely Johnny, or [A] do you leave [D] me?
Well then I am the runaway, it's so and I let them know
That I can take the bottle [A] or can leave [D] it alone
And [G] if our daddy [D] doesn't like it he [A] can keep [D] his daughter at home
And Johnny will go rovin' [A] with [D] another
On the banks of the [A] roses me lover [D] lays her down
And they took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune
In the middle of the tune-o she smiled and she said
Get her Johnny, lovely Johnny, [A] or do you [D] leave me?
And when they get married it will be a month of May
When the leaves they are green and [A] the meadows they [D] are gay
Then me and me true [A] love we'll sit and [D] sport and play
While in love we'll play sweet banks [A] of the [D] roses
On the banks of the [A] roses me lover lays [D] her down
And they took out me fiddle for to play me love a tune
In the middle of the tune [A]-o she smiled and [D] she said
Get her Johnny, lovely Johnny, [A] or do you [D]
leave me?
