Horo my Johnny won't you come home soon
The winter is comming and I'm all alone
A candle is burning in my windo love
And the wild gese the are going home
A young man's love is something to behold
First it burns then it soon turns cold
He'l whisper in the moonlight and your hand he'll hold
Then he'll vanish with the morning dew
Repeat first verse
He'll court you by the meadow in the summertime
When first you love, It's the sweetest time
He'll promis a golding ring, and then one day
He'll vanish with the morning dew
Repeat first verse
You'll be waiting for his footsteps in the lonely room
Listen by the windo he'll be comming soon
Your heart it will be breaking by the early dawn
For he'll vanish with the early dew.
Repeat first verse
So come all you young men who are in your prime
A young maiden's love is like the rarest wine
When first you taste it, tis the golden time
Sweeter than the morning dew.
Repeat first verse.
