My Johnny was a shoemaker and did he love me
My Johnny was a shoemaker but now he`s gone to sea
With pitch and tar to soil his hands
And to sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea
His jacket was a deep sky-blue and curly was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky-blue, it was a do declare
For to reeve the top sails up against the mast
And to sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea
Some day he`ll be a captain bold with a brave and a gallant crew
Some day he`ll be a captain bold with a sword and spy glass too
And when he has his gallant captain`s sword
He`ll come home and marry me, marry me
He`ll come home and marry me
