| lyric | 1. My Johnny was a shoemaker and dearly he loved me.
My Johnny was a shoemaker but now he’s gone to sea.
With pitch and tar to soil his hands and sail across the sea
And sail across the stormy sea.
2. His jacket was a deep sky blue and curly was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky blue, it was I do declare
For to reef the topsails up again the mast
And sail across the stormy sea, e . .ee, e . .ee
And sail upon the deep blue sea.
3. Some day he’ll be acaptain bold, with a brave and gallant crew
Some day he’ll be acaptain bold, with a sword and spy—glass too
And when he has a gallant captain’s sword
He’ll come home and he’ll marry me, e . .ee, e. .ee
He’ll come home and he’ll marry me. |
