As me and me maro was garden to walk,
when met with a dival it was in the dark.
How up when me pick it be in that it,
and knocked off his horns like wise's club feet.
Follow the horses, Johnny me laddo,
follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo,
follow the horses, Johnny me laddo,
follow the horses, Johnny me laddo.
Oh maro, oh maro, and what do you think?
I've broken me bottle and spilt all the drink.
I've lost all me tools,
I'm ming the great stems,
draw near to the shaft lad,
it's time to ganyem.
Follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo,
follow the horses, Johnny me laddo,
follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo, oh lad,
lie away, canny laddo.
As me and me maro was loading the drum,
the lead it went good and me maro went rang.
How you would a laugh to see the fine game
old Nick got me maro and I got the drum.
Follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo,
follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo,
follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo, oh lad,
lie away, canny laddo.
As me and me maro was loading the drum,
two horns full of grease will mark me de guard.
There's me maro's stretch dude on the ground,
taking care of his shirt,
for his mind is all done.
Follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo, follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo,
follow the horses,
Johnny me laddo, oh lad, lie away, canny laddo.
