JOHNNY GO EASY
(Ron Kavana)

Meself and the mystery met in a boozer,
The Stag's Head in Camden one cold rainy night.
We had a few jars and the craic it was mighty,
Till I up and asked for a bed for the night.

Cho : Johnny, go easy. You're driving me crazy.
Johnny, go easy. I'm losing me mind.
Me senses are sunk in an ocean of porter
And a mixture of whiskey and tawny port wine.

The days went by. The romance developed.
To loosen her garter was my one desire.
All efforts frustrated, frustration dictated
A few pints and large ones to light up her fire.

Though I tried for to bed her, to woo her, to wed her,
She wouldn't lay down between me and the wall.
So to charm her, not harm her, I tried to disarm her
With gallons of gargle and spirits and all.

[Above as recorded by Ron Kavana on "Home Fire," 1991. Additional verse:]

She drank too much porter and I could not court her.
She had one more pint and passed out on the floor.
With no wits about her, she spewed it all out her.
I wish she were sober like she was before.

Ron Kavana, with an added verse by Mike Nicholsen and Zack Smith
