W:There was a man and he lived in the east,
W:His trade, it was cutting down brooms, green brooms.
W:He had a son and his name was John,
W:And he stayed in bed until noon, 'til noon,
W:He stayed in bed until noon.
W:
W:So the father arose and up to John goes.
W:He swore he would burn his room, gay room,
W:If he didn't rise and sharpen his knives,
W:And go down to the wood to cut brooms, green brooms,
W:And go down to the wood to cut brooms.
W:
W:So Johnny went on down through the green wood,
W:'Til he came to a castle of fame, fame, fame.
W:He spied a fair maid and he stood at the gate,
W:Crying, "Fair maid, do you want any brooms, green brooms?
W:Fair maid, do you want any brooms?"
W:
W:This lady, being up in her window so high,
W:She spied this young man so terribly neat.
W:She said to her maid, "Go down to the gate,
W:And call in this young man with his brooms, green brooms.
W:Call in this young man with his brooms."
W:
W:So Johnny went into this castle so great,
W:And into this lady's room, gay room.
W:She gave him a chair and she bade him sit down,
W:Crying, "You're welcome, young man, with your brooms, green brooms,
W:You're welcome, young man, with your brooms."
W:
W:They sent for the priest and married they were,
W:All in this lady's room, gay room.
W:So boys, will we drink? Or what do you think?
W:There is nothing like cutting down brooms, green brooms,
W:There's nothing like cutting down brooms.
