Looking for lyrics

Hello everyone,

I have googled myself half to death looking for these lyrics and am still unsuccesful!! :boggle: :laughing:, i hope someone here has them!
I know the song by Óisin (Geraldine MacGowan) it is called ‘The wild Geese’ or some know it as Ro Ro Johnny??

A part of the text goes like this:
Ro ro Johnny won’t you come home soon, winter is a comin and i’m all alone, now he’s left me in the mornin cold and the wild geese come rollin home…

Hopefully someone knows the rest!

Thanks,
Raven.

Oro my Johnny

  1. When first I met him I was in my prime
    With lips like velvet tasted ruby wine
    Now he’s left me in the morning cold
    And Johnny he goes roving with another.

Chorus: Oro my Johnny won’t you come home soon,
Winter it is coming and I’m all alone,
Candles are burning in my window, love,
And the wild geese are rolling home.

  1. A young maid’s love is something to behold,
    When first you meet her she’s as pure as gold,
    Then you leave her in the morning cold
    When the wild geese are rolling home.

Chorus
