Lyrics Banks of the Roses - The Tramps
On
the
banks
of
the
Roses
My
love
and
I
sat
down
And
I
took
out
my
fiddle
For
to
play
my
love
a
tune
In
the
middle
of
the
tune
Well
she
sighed
and
she
said
Dear
Johnny,
lovely
Johnny
Would
you
leave
me?
Oh
when
I
was
a
young
one
I
heard
my
father
say
That
he'd
rather
see
me
dead
And
buried
in
the
clay
Sooner
than
be
married
To
any
runaway
By
the
lovely
sweet
Banks
of
the
Roses
On
the
banks
of
the
Roses
My
love
and
I
sat
down
And
I
took
out
my
fiddle
For
to
play
my
love
a
tune
In
the
middle
of
the
tune
Well
she
sighed
and
she
said
Dear
Johnny,
lovely
Johnny
Would
you
leave
me?
Well
then
I
am
no
runaway
And
soon
I
let
him
know
That
I
can
take
a
butler
And
leave
it
alone
And
if
your
daddy
doesn't
like
it
He
can
keep
his
daughter
home
And
Johnny
will
go
roving
With
another
On
the
banks
of
the
Roses
My
love
and
I
sat
down
And
I
took
out
my
fiddle
For
to
play
my
love
a
tune
In
the
middle
of
the
tune
Well
she
sighed
and
she
said
Dear
Johnny,
lovely
Johnny
Would
you
leave
me?
And
planned
we'd
get
married
Till
the
end
of
month
of
May
When
the
leaves
they
are
green
And
the
meadows
they
are
gay
And
me
and
my
true
love
Will
sit
and
spark
and
play
By
the
lovely
sweet
Banks
of
the
Roses
On
the
banks
of
the
Roses
My
love
and
I
sat
down
And
I
took
out
my
fiddle
For
to
play
my
love
a
tune
In
the
middle
of
the
tune
Well
she
sighed
and
she
said
Dear
Johnny,
lovely
Johnny
Would
you
leave
me?
Dear
Johnny,
lovely
Johnny
Would
you
leave
me?
Dear
Johnny,
lovely
Johnny
Would
you
leave
me?
