Johnny Be Fair
Oh, Johnny be fair, and Johnny be fine, and wants me for to wed,
And I would marry Johnny but me father up and said,
"I hate to tell you daughter what your mother never knew,
But Johnny boy is a son of mine and so he's kin to you."
Oh, Danny be fair, and Danny be fine, and wants me for to wed,
And I would marry Danny but me father up and said,
"I hate to tell you daughter what your mother never knew,
But Danny boy is a son of mine and so he's kin to you."
Oh, Tommy be fair, and Tommy be fine, and wants me for to wed,
And I would marry Tommy but me father up and said,
"I hate to tell you daughter what your mother never knew,
But Tommy boy is a son of mine and so he's kin to you."
You never saw a maid as sad and sorry as I was
For all the boys in town are my kin and my father is the cause
If life should thus continue so I'll die a single miss,
I think I'll go to mother and complain to her of this...
Oh, daughter haven't I taught you to forgive and to forget
And if your father sowed his oats well still you need'nt fret
He may be father to all the boys in town but still,
He's not the one who sired you so marry who you will!
