When I was a wee thing and easy led astray It's
before I would work, I would rather sport and play
It's before I would work, I would rather sport and
play With my Johnny on the banks of red roses
On the banks of red roses my love and I sat down
He took out his fiddle and began to play a tune
And when the tune was ended his love broke down
[Más Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/MpJV]and cried "Oh Johnny, darling Johnny, never leave
me"
He took out his pocket knife and it was long and
sharp And he plunged it through and through the
bonnie lassie's heart He plunged it through and
through the bonnie lassie's heart And he let her
lying low on the roses
(repeat first verse)
