Johnny Lad
(traditional [Roud 2587], arrang. J. Ferguson, 2024)

V1.
Am G Am
Oh, know ye my love Johnny? He is down on yonder lea.
Am G Em
He's glancing and he's peeking, and he's always watching me.
Am G Am
He's pleasing and he's teasing, but his meaning's not so bad.
Am G Am
If it's ever going to be, tell me now, Jonny lad.

Chorus:
Am G Am
Tell me now, my Johnny laddie. Tell me now, my Johnny lad.
Am G Am
If it's ever going to be, tell me now, Johnny lad.

V2.
When the sheep are in the fold and the cattle in the byre
and other lads and lassies sitting 'round a roaring fire,
there's me--a foolish lassie--just likes as I was mad
through the nooks and barley stooks seeking you, Johnny lad.

Chorus:
Seeking you, my Johnny laddie, seeking you, my Johnny lad.
Through the nooks and barley stooks seeking you, Johnny lad.

V3.
Oh, Johnny's kind and bonnie; he's the pride of all yon lea.
And I love him best of any, though he's always teasing me.
Though he teases me and squeezes me and tickles me like mad
none comes near me that can cheer me like my own Johnny lad.

Chorus:
Aye, it's you, my Johnny laddie. Aye, it's you, my Johnny lad.
None can tease me and can please me like my own Johnny lad.

V3.
Oh, Johnny is no gentleman. Nor yet is he a lord.
But I would follow Johnny if he'd just give me the word.
Oh, Johnny is a bonnie lad; he was once a lad of mine.
And I've never had a better lad, though I've had twenty-nine.

Chorus:
And with you, my Johnny laddie, and with you, my Johnny lad.
And I'll dance the buckles off my shoes with you, Johnny lad.
