Weep a tear for John Brady
Seven long years he loved his lady
He was a simple guy
Singing, 'I'll love her 'til I die'

Weep a tear for John's lady
Seven long years she went with Brady
All he could say or sigh
Was, 'Lady I'll love you 'til I die'

Somebody else said, 'Lady, be mine
I've got a house with a flowering vine
I'll take you out to faraway shores
And everything I have is yours'

Weep a tear for John Brady
Six foot under where it's shady
He was a simple guy
Singing, 'I'll love her 'til I die'
