[Verse 1]
One day a poor man came a-ridin' by
Says I to the man, "Your horse is going to die"
Oh, Johnny, come to hi-lo
Oh, poor old man

[Chorus]
Well, dance her, and prance her
And walk around the square with a pretty young lady
Johnny, come to hi-lo
Poor old man

[Verse 2]
Well, the poor old man he says to me
"Young man, it's plain you're daffy as can be"
Oh, Johnny, come to hi-lo
Oh, poor old man

[Chorus]
Well, dancer her, and prance her
And walk around the square with a pretty young lady
Johnny, come to hi-lo
Poor old man

[Verse 3]
Says I to the wretch, "You're wrong, old man
My wife's got sausages a-fryin' in the pan"
Oh, Johnny, come to hi-lo
Oh, poor old man
[Verse 4]
Well, he hopped around, and he dancеd a jig
All for a taste of a savory pig
Oh, Johnny, come to hi-lo
Oh, poor old man

[Chorus]
So, dancer hеr, and prance her
And walk around the square with a pretty young lady
Johnny, come to hi-lo
Poor old man

[Outro]
Well, dance her (Dance her)
Prance her (Prance her)
Walk around the square with a pretty young lady
Johnny, come to hi-i-lo-oh-oh-oh
Well, poor old man
Poor old man
Poor old man
