Is it this one?

Johnny Grey

There was a little feller, his name was Johnny Grey
The state where Johnny Grey was born was Penn-syl-van-i-a

Chorus
Blow you in the morning, blow you winds, hi ho
Blow you in the morning, blow, blow, blow

This Johnny fell in love, all with a nice young girl
The name of her most positive was Louzy Isry Anner Pearl

When Johnny asked her father, her father he said no
And brutally sent her beyond the O-hi-o

Johnny went out a-west a-trading in furs and other things
And soon he found himself in trust with the chief of the Indians

When Miss Louisa heard of this, she straightway went to bed
And never did get up from there until she died

Afraid not

It goes I think like

I'M GOING TO THE MARKET ON MONDAY
TO DEAR OLD BALLYBAY
AND WHO IS THERE BESIDE ME
BUT HANDSOME JOHNNY GREY
