Banks Of The Roses Lyrics - Singles - Clancy Brothers

On the banks of the roses, my love and I sat down 

And I took out my violin to play my love a tune 

In the middle of the tune, O she sighed and she said 

O Johnny, lovely Johnny, Would you leave me 

O when I was a young man, I heard my father say 

That he'd rather see me dead and buried in the clay 

Sooner than be married to any runaway 

By the lovely sweet banks of the roses 

O then I am no runaway and soon I'll let them know 

I can take a good glass or leave it alone 

And the man that doesn't like me, he can keep 

his daughter home 

And young Johnny will go roving with another 

And if ever I get married, twill be in the month of May 

When the leaves they are green and the meadows 

they are gay 

And I and my true love can sit and sport and play 

On the lovely sweet banks of the roses
