GENTLY JOHNNY MY JINGALO



I put my hand all in her own

Fair maid is a lilly oh

She said, "If you love me alone

Come to me quietly

Do me no injury

Gently, Johnny, my Jingalo"



I said, "You know I love you, dear"

Fair...

She whispered softly in my ear

Come...



I placed my arm around her waist

She laughed and turned away her face

I kissed her lips like roses red

She blushed, then tenderly she said



I slipped a ring all in her hand

She said, "The parson's near at hand"



I took her to the church next day

The birds did sing and she did say
