P stands for Paddy I suppose, J for my love John And W stands for smart William, Johnny is the fairest lad Johnny is the fairest lad me dear, Johnny is the fairest lad Well I don't care what anybody says, Johnny is the fairest lad

Verse 1

As I went out one May mornin', to take a pleasant walk I sat myself down by an old stone wall to hear two lovers talk To hear what they might say my dear, to hear what they might say That I might know a little more about life before I go my way

Verse 2

Let me sit you down beside me now, not now nor any other time For I hear you've met another little lad, an' your hearts no longer mine Your hearts no longer mine my love, your hearts no longer mine For I have met another little lad, an' your hearts no longer mine

Verse 3

I'll go and climb a tall high tree, and steal a wild bird's nest And when I come home I'll know a little more about the girl that I love best The girl that I love best my dear, the girl that I love best And when I come down I'll know a little more about the girl that I love best
