about

Horo Johnny by Sean McCarthy, banjo accompaniment written by our friend Leonore Tjia, followed by 56b in the Sacred Harp.

lyrics

Horo Johnny, won't you come home soon?
Winter is coming and I'm all alone.
A candle is burning in my window, love,
And the wild geese, they're coming home.

A young boy's love is something to behold:
First it burns and then it grows cold.
He'll kiss you in the moonlight and your hand he'll hold,
Then he'll vanish like the morning dew.

"Mercy oh thou son of David,"
Thus poor blind Bartimeus prayed,
"Others by Thy grace are saved,
Now to me afford Thine aid."

Money was not what he wanted,
Though by begging used to live;
But he asked and Jesus granted,
Alms which none but he could give.

“Lord, remove this grievous blindness,
Let mine eyes behold the day;”
Straight he saw, and, won by kindness,
Followed Jesus in the way.
