We're going to sing, uh, Johnny Lad
I bought a wife in Edinburgh
For a bawbie
And then I got a farthing back
To buy tobacco wi'
And wi' you, and wi' you, and wi' you, my Johnny lad
I'd dance the buckles off my shoes for you my Johnny lad
As I went walkin' Sunday, and there I saw the Queen
A-playin' at the football wi' the lads on Glasgow green
And wi' you, and wi' you, and wi' you, my Johnny lad
I'd dance the buckles off my shoes for you my Johnny lad
The captain 'o the other side was scorin' wi' great style
The queen, she called a policeman, and had him thrown in jail
And wi' you, and wi' you, and wi' you, my Johnny lad
I'd dance the buckles off my shoes for you my Johnny lad
Napoleon was an emperor, and he ruled by land and sea
He ruled all France and Germany, but he didn't rule Jock McGhee
And wi' you, and wi' you, and wi' you, my Johnny lad
I'd dance the buckles off my shoes for you my Johnny lad
Samson was a mlghty man, and he fought wi' the cuddy's jaw
He fought a thousand battles wearlng crimson flannel drawers
And wi' you, and wi' you, and wi' you, my Johnny lad
I'd dance the buckles off my shoes for you my Johnny lad
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
And wi' you, and wi' you, and wi' you, my Johnny lad
I'd dance the buckles off my shoes for you my Johnny lad
