Johnny Lad Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Oh Kenny, my love Johnny,
he is doing on yonder lee
And he's looking and he's joking
and [Bm]his eye [E]watching me
[Bm]He's [G]poo[Am]ing and he's teasing
but his meaning's not so bad
Ginnets have all gone to be,
tell [E]me now [Am]Johnny lad
Tell me noo, my Johnny laddie,
Tell me noo, my Johnny lad,
Ginn it's ever gone to be,
[Bm]Tell [E]me noo, [Am]Johnny lad.
When the sheep are in the fold,
And the cow are in the bair,
And other lads and lassies
Sittin' round a roarin' [G]fair,
[Am]There's me a bleaket lassie,
Just like [G]Ginn [Bm]I was [Am]mad,
Through the nooks and barley stooks,
Jink[E]in' you, Johnny [Am]lad.
Jinkin' you, my Johnny laddy,
Jinkin' you, my Johnny lad.
Through the nooks and barley stooks,
Jinkin' you, Johnny lad.
Oh, Johnny's blithin' bonny,
He's the pride of a young lea,
And I'll do him best, oh, honey,
Though his eye [E]teasin' me,
[Am]Though he teases me and squeezes me
and tickles me like mad
Nain comes near me
that can cheer me
like my [E]own [Am]Johnny Lad
Aye, it's you, [Bm]my Johnny Laddy
[Am]Aye, it's you, my [G]Johnny Lad
[Am]Nain can tease me
and can please me
like my [E]own [Am]Johnny Lad
Oh, Johnny's nae a gentleman,
nor yet he is a lad
But I would follow Johnny lad,
al[E]though he was a [Bm]kerd
[Am]Oh, Johnny is a bonny lad,
he was ain't a lad of mine
And I've never had a better lad,
[E]though I've had twenty -nine
And wee [Am]you my [E]Johnny laddy,
and wee [Am]you my Johnny lad
And I'll dance the bottles off my shoon,
wee [E]you [Am]Johnny lad
And wee -oo my Johnny laddie,
and wee -oo my Johnny lad
And I'll dance the bottles
off my shoon,
wee -oo [Am]Johnny lad
