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 you 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
