Johnny be fair and Johnny be fine
And wants me for to wed
And I would marry Johnny
But me da he up and said,
I'm sad t' tell ye, daughter
What yer mother never knew
But Johnny is a son of mine
And so he's kin to you.
Billy be fair and Billy be fine
And wants me for to wed...
[etc.]
Jimmy be fair and Jimmy be fine...[etc]
Well you never seen
a girl so sad and sorry as I was.
The boys in town are all me kin and
me father is the cause.
If life should thus continue
I shall die a single miss
so I go to me mother
and complain to her of this.
Oh daughter didn't I teach ye to forgive and to forget.
Your father might have sowed his oats
but still ye needn't fret.
Your father may be father to all the boys
in town but still....
He's not the one who sired you
so marry who you will!
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
