My johnny lad


I bought a wife in Edinburgh
For a bawbie;
And then I got a farthing back
To buy terbaccer wi'
cho: And wi' you, and wi' you, and wi' you, my Johnny lad,
I'll dance the buckles off my shoes wi' you my Johnny lad.
As I was walkin' Sunday, 'twas there I saw the Queen,
A-playln' at the football wi' the lads on Glasgow green,
The captain 'o the other slde was scorin' wi' great style,
The queen, she called a policeman, and had him thrown in jail.
Samson was a mlghty man, and he fought wi' the cuddy's jaw,
He fought a thousand battles wearlng crlmson flannel drawers.
Napoleon was an emperor, and he ruled on land and sea,
He ruled all France and Germany, but he didn't rule Jock McGhee.
Now Johnny Is a bonny lad, he is a lad of mine,
I've never had a better lad and I've had twenty-nine.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Clancy Brothers were an Irish folk group formed in 1961 and active until 1975, though they continued performing in various formations. Composed of three brothers: Liam, Tom, and Paddy Clancy, the group achieved great popularity in the United States during the 1960s. Their debut performance took place at the Newport Folk Festival in 1961, sharing the stage with Joan Baez. The Clancy Brothers are known for their energetic performances and harmonious vocals, characterized by a strong Irish accent. Their repertoire includes traditional Irish folk songs, often reinterpreted in a modern style. Among their most famous songs are "The Wild Rover", "Seven Drunken Nights" and "Red Is the Rose". The album "The Clancy Brothers Sing Irish Ballads" (1963) is considered a classic of the Irish folk genre.
