Johnny Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When i hear that wind blow,
All across the wicklow mountains.
Is it you i hear a calling?
Johnny boy, oh johnny boy.
When i look to the west,
Out across the river shannon.
I can still see you smiling.
Johnny boy, oh johnny boy.
When the leaves have turned to brown
And winter's due.
As i watch the sun go down,
I'll think of you.
When i hear that wind blow,
All across the wicklow mountains.
Sure it's you, i'll hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh johnny boy.
