I dreamt last night of you John John	A
And thought you called to me	B
And when I woke this morning John	A
Yourself I hoped to see	B
But I was all alone John John	A
Though still I heard your call	C
I put my boots and bonnet on	A
And took my Sunday shawl	C
And went full sure to find you John	A
At Nenagh fair	D
	-
The fair was just the same as then	E
Five years ago to day	F
When first you left the thimble men	E
And came with me away	F
For there again were thimble men	E
And shooting galleries	G
And card trick men and maggie men	E
Of all sorts and degrees	G
But not a sight of you John John	A
Was anywhere	D
	-
I turned my face to home again	E
And called myself a fool	H
To think you'd leave the thimble men	E
And live again by rule	H
To go to mass and keep the fast	I
And till the little patch	J
My wish to have you home was past	I
Before I raised the latch	J
And pushed the door and saw you John	A
Sitting down there	D
	-
How cool you came in here begad	I
As if you owned the place	K
But rest yourself there now my lad	I
'Tis good to see your face	K
My dream is out and now by it	I
I think I know my mind	I
At six o'clock this house you'll quit	I
And leave no grief behind	I
But until six o'clock John John	A
My bit you'll share	D
	-
The neighbours' shame of me began	L
When first I brought you in	M
To wed and keep a tinker man	L
They thought a kind of sin	M
But now this three years since you've gone	N
'Tis pity me they do	I
And that I'd rather have John John	A
Than that they'd pity you	I
Pity for me and you John John	A
I could not bear	D
	-
Oh you're my husband right enough	O
But what's the good of that	I
You know you never were the stuff	O
To be the cottage cat	I
To watch the fire and hear me lock	P
The door and put out Shep	Q
But there now it is six o'clock	P
And time for you to step	Q
God bless and keep you far John John	A
	-
And that's my prayer	D
