Lyrics

[00:02.00] I'll you a story about Johnny McClorey
[00:07.50] That's how the story was begun
[00:11.50] I'll tell you another about Johnny's brother
[00:17.00] And now you may think my story is done
[00:25.00] The first time I met Johnny
[00:27.00] I could see he was bonnie
[00:30.00] And when he looked at me how he did glow
[00:34.00] But just as we were gazing at each other
[00:37.00] Johnny's brother was down in Mexico
[00:46.50] I went to a party with Johnny my hearty
[00:51.50] I never felt so happy and so gay
[00:56.00] But just as were drinking to each other
[01:01.00] Johnny's brother was down in Santa Fe
[01:09.00] And out in the garden my heart would not harden
[01:13.50] How well I can recall those tender scenes
[01:18.00] But just as were kissing one another
[01:23.00] Johnny's brother was down in New Orleans
[01:30.50] I didn't want to tarry my Johnny to marry
[01:35.00] And so I got myself a wedding gown
[01:40.00] But just as we were wedded to each other
[01:45.00] Johnny's brother came riding into town
[01:57.00] The years have been merry
[01:59.00] Oh very very very
[02:02.00] I love my Johnny well and he loves me
[02:06.00] But all the while we're loving up each other
[02:11.00] Johnny's brother holds the baby on his knee
[02:19.00] I told you a story about Johnny McClorey
[02:24.00] That's how my story was begun
[02:28.00] I told you another about Johnny's brother
[02:35.00] And now my story is done
