Johneen

Lyrics

Sure he's five months old, an' he's two foot long Baby Johneen; Watch yerself now, for he's terrible sthrong Baby Johneen An' his fists 'ill be up if ye make any slips He has finger ends like the daisy-tips But he'll have ye attend to the words of his lips Will Johneen There' nobody can rightly tell the colour of his eyes This Johneen; For they're partly o' the earth an' still they're partly o' the skies Like Johneen So far has he's thravelled he's been laughin' all the way For the little soul is quare an' wise, the little heart is gay; An' he likes the merry daffodils, he thinks they'd do to play With Johneen He'll sail a boat yet, if he only has his luck Young Johneen For he takes to the wather like any little duck Boy Johneen; Sure them are the hands now to pull on a rope An' nate feet for walkin' the deck on a slope But the ship she must wait a wee while yet, I hope For Johneen For we couldn't do wantin' him, not just yet Och, Johneen; 'Tis you that are the daisy, an' you that are the pet Wee Johneen Here's to your health, an' we'll dhrink it to-night Slainte gal avic machree! live and do right Slainte gal avourneen! may your days be bright Johneen!
