Unknown - Faithful Johnny Lyrics

FAITHFUL JOHNNY

When will you come again, My faithful Johnny,
When will you come again, my sweet and bonnie.
When the corn is gathered, when the leaves are withered,
I will come again, my sweet and bonnie, I will come again.

Then winter's winds will blow, my faithful Johnny,
Then winter's winds will blow, my sweet and bonnie,
Though the day be dark with drift, that I cannot see the light,
I will come again, my sweet and bonnie, I will come again.

Then will you meet me here, my faithful Johnny,
Then will you meet me here, my sweet and bonnie?
Though the night be halloween, When the fearful sights are seen
I will come again, my sweet and bonnie, I will come again.

(repeat first verse.)

from the singing of the Pratie Heads and Jean Redpath
