DSo come all brave irishmen
GWherever you may Dbe
DI'll tell you a story
AThat happened to Dme
DIts tis of a shooting
GThat happened long aDgo
DIn a town called Kilkenny
AA place we all kDnow
twas early in the morning
Johnny was met with the dew
By the bastard bailiff
And his trecherous crew
You couldn't pay your rent
So you'll pay with your land
From the country you love
Forever you'll be banned
DGo Go JoGhnny Grey
DGo Go JoAhnny Grey
DGo Go JoGhnny Grey
AAnd a rebel he will Dstay
Johnny grabbed his gun
Yelled you won't take me alive
For my true love Ireland
I am prepared to die
And all the brave irishmen
Will share the same fate as me
But the bailiff knew tomorrow
Johnny'd be swinging from a tree
Johnny pulled the trigger
And the captian he fell dead
The bailiff raised his gun
Aimed squared at johnny's head
Another shot was fired
And the bailiff, he did slay
And that was the ending
Of Young Johnny Grey
So come all brave irishmen
Wherever you may be
Don't let them transport you
All over the sea
Stay in your own country
And defend your own land
And soon we'll be free
From this trecherous band
