Johnny From the West
Johnny was a lad who came from the West
With a yuka yuka daydo
And the Galway girls they loved him the best
With a yuka yuka day
Each day they'd throw at him a sly little wink or a smile
And they'd say "Oh Johnny are you coming now
Or Johnny will you wait for a while."
Oh Johnny are you coming now?
Or Johnny will you wait for a while, a while?
Come along John with your big boots on
Or Johnny will you come for a while?
Now Johnny went shooting with his father's gun
With a yuka yuka daydo
And he shot at the rooks but he couldn't hit one
With a yuka yuka day
Now there was a great big crow who sat on the edge of a stile
And he said "Oh,Johnny will you shoot me now,
Or Johnny will you wait for a while?
"Oh,Johnny will you shoot me now,
Or Johnny will you wait for a while, a while?
Come along John with your big boots on
Or Johnny will you come for a while?
Now Johnny went fishing in a nice little brook
With a yuka yuka daydo
And the fish took the bait but they wouldn't take the hook
With a yuka yuka day
Now swimming down the stream came a monster crocodile
And he says "Oh Johnny will you catch me now,
Or Johnny will you wait for a while?"
Oh Johnny will you catch me now,
Or Johnny will you wait for a while a while?
Come along John with your big boots on
Or Johnny will you come for a while?
