i first learned this song 8 years ago when i started singing however i have misplaced the words and would like to learn it again, does anyone know the verses?

Chorus:
oh P it stands for Paddy i suppose and J for my love john
w stands for the false willie-o but johnny is the fairest one
oh johnny is the fairest one she said johnny is the fairest one
and i don't care what anybody says for johnny is the fairest one.
