[E] I took up my silver fire to claim me love of June,
[A] And in the [E] middle of the juvenile she smiled and she said,
Ah Johnny, you're lonely Johnny, [B] don't you [E] leave me.
Well when I was a young one I heard my father say,
That he'd rather see me dead and buried in the clay,
[A] [E] Sooner than be married to any runaway boy,
And I'd let him know that I'd made a lovely, sweet bang for the roses.
On the banks of the Rosebush me lover may have done,
And I took up my silver fire to claim me love of [E] June,
And in the middle of the juvenile she smiled and she said,
Ah Johnny, you're lonely Johnny, don't you leave me.
Oh and then I am a runaway, and soon I'll let them know,
I can hear it below, [A] that her daddy [E] doesn't like it,
He can keep the bottle at home, and Johnny ever loving miss her mother.
On the banks of the Rosebush me lover may have done,
And I took up my silver fire to claim me love of June,
And in the middle of the juvenile she smiled and she said,
Ah Johnny, you're lonely Johnny, [B] don't you [E] leave me.
Now when I get ready [B] to be in the month of [A] May,
I'm going to deliver [F#] a dream, and then I'll [A] [E] sit at home and play,
While the lovely sweet bangs all around.
On the banks of the Rosebush me lover may have done,
And I took up my silver fire to claim me love of June,
And in the middle of the juvenile she smiled and she said,
Ah [A] Johnny, [E] you're lonely Johnny, [B] don't you leave [E] me.
