Horo Johnny

Chorus

Horo Johnny, won’t you come home soon

The winter is coming and I’m all alone

A candle is burning in my window love

And the wild geese they are going home

A young man’s love is something to behold

First it burns and then it soon turns cold

He’ll whisper in the moonlight and your hand he’ll hold

Then he’ll vanish with the morning dew

Chorus

He’ll court you by a meadow in the summertime

When first you love it is the sweetest time

He’ll promise you a golden ring and then one day

He will vanish with the morning dew

Chorus

You’ll be waiting for his footsteps in the lonely bloom

Listen by the window, he’ll be coming soon

Your heart it will be breaking by the early dawn

For he’ll vanish with the morning dew

Chorus

So come all you young men who are in your prime

The young maiden’s love is like the fairest wine

When first you taste it is the golden time

Sweeter than the morning dew

Chorus
