My Johnny was a shoemaker
And dearly he loved me
My Johnny was a shoemaker

And dearly he loved me
For to raise the topsail up against the mast
And to sail across the sea, stormy sea

And sail across the stormy sea

His jacket was a deep sky blue

Oh and curly was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky blue
Oh it was I do declare

With soot and tar to soil his hands
And to sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea


One day he'll be a captain bold
With a brave and gallant crew

One day he'll be a captain bold
With a sword and spyglass too
Ad when he as his gallant captain's sword

He'll come home and marry me, marry me
He'll come home and marry me
