JOHNNY WITH THE BANDY LEGS (Josef Marais) Of a fellow, John Ferreira, we will sing, we will sing He could ride a horse or pig or anything, anything; But whenever he would walk, all the people, they would talk For his bowlegs were as rounded as a ring. And all the people called Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs And all the people called Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs cho: Hup, hop, hip on the left foot Hup, hop, hip on the right foot Stay in the middle of the road, Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs. Every time when Johnny made his Mary mad, Mary mad, There was one good remedy that Mary had, Mary had, When her Johnny did her wrong, she would sing this little song And it always made him very, very mad. Go, pack your things and trek, Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs Go, pack your things and trek, Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs cho: Papa said to Mary, "John is good and strong, good and strong So why wait 'til someone else may come along, come along? Take him now, while you can, after all, he is a man And time is flying, don't delay too long. Go, pack your things and trek with Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs Go, pack your things and trek with Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs" cho: Mary made a secret wish that in the spring, in the spring That the stork a little baby them would bring, them would bring When at last he did arrive, the old stork he brought them five And once again poor Johnny heard her sing: Go, pack your things and trek, Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs Go, pack your things and trek, Ferreira, Johnny with the bandy legs cho: Note: adapted (and translated) from Afrikaans Copyright Alamo Music, Inc.
