Johnny Boy

(sung to the tune of 'Danny Boy')

Oh Johnny boy, the planes, the planes are calling

From skyland to skyland, and down to the ocean waves

The Armada’s gone, and all the pirates are flying

It’s you, it’s you must go, and I must stay.

But return when your plane is on the ‘field

Or when the tavern’s hushed and white with fear

It’s I that’ll be there in sun or shade, though

Oh Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the pirates are flying

And the Courtiers are dead as dead we may be

You’ll come and find the place where I’m lying

And kneel and say a pray’r for me.

And I’ll hear your flight, though soft you fly above me

And my dreams warm and sweeter will be

If you won’t fail to tell me that you love me

I simply wait in peace until you come to me.
