Johnny Don't go to Ballincollig

from Acoustic Series Vol​.​1 All the Ways You Wander by John Spillane

lyrics

Johnny don’t go to Ballincollig
Where you always get so disappointed
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go,
Stay in town.

Johnny don’t go to Carrigaline
Or I’m not coming with you this time
You only go to get let down
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go,
Stay in town.

Johnny don’t go calling that woman
You know she left you behind
If you go and call that woman
I’m not coming with you this time
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go,
Stay in town.

If you go up to Mallow
Better beware of the big Blackwater
If you go as far as Mallow
You might never again come down
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go,
Stay in town.

Johnny don’t go to the banks of the Shannon
Johhny don’t go to the banks of the Nile
Johnny don’t go to London Tower
Hang around another while
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go,
Stay in town.

Johnny don’t go to the Crystal Palace
Johnny don’t go to the hole in the wall
Johnny don’t go to the big television
Hey Johnny don’t go at all
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go,
Stay in town.

WHERE would you be going?
Where WOULD you be going?
Where would YOU be going?
Where would BE going?
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go,
Stay in town.

Johnny don’t go to Carrigaline
Or I’m not coming with you this time
You only go to get let down
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go
Stay in town.

Johnny don’t go to Ballincollig
Where you always get so disappointed
Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go, Johnny don’t go,
Stay in town
