Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Johnny arose on a May morning Called for water tae wash his hand
\nGae lowse tae me my twa grey dogs That lie bound in iron bands<\/p>\n

When Johnny’s mother she heard o’ this Her hands for a duel she wrang
\nCrying, Johnny for your venison Tae the green wood dare no’ gang<\/p>\n

But he has ta’en his good ben bow His arrows one by one
\nAnd he’s awa’ tae the green wood ga’en Tae ding the dun deer doon<\/p>\n

Johnny shot and the dun deer leapt And he wounded her in the side
\nAnd between the water and the wood The grey dogs laid her pride<\/p>\n

By there come a silly auld man And an ill death may he dee
\nFor he’s awa’ tae Esslemont The king’s seven foresters tae see<\/p>\n

Then up and spoke the first forester He was heid man ower them a’
\nGin this be Jock O’Breadislee Untae him we will draw<\/p>\n

The first shot that the forester fired It wounded him in the knee
\nAnd the next shot that the forester fired His heart’s blood blint his e’e<\/p>\n

He’s leant his back against an oak His foot against a stane
\nAnd he’s fired on the seven foresters And he’s killed them a’ but ane<\/p>\n

He’s broken four o’ this man’s ribs His airm and his collar bane
\nAnd then he sat him on a horse Tae carry the tidings hame<\/p>\n

Noo Johnny’s good bent bow lies broke His twa grey dogs lie slain
\nAnd his body lies in Monymusk And his huntin’ days are dane<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
