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 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, I do declare For to reive the topsails 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 a gallant captain's sword He'll come home and marry me, marry me He'll come home and marry me
