Steeleye Span - My Johnny Was a Shoemaker lyrics
[Steeleye Span - My Johnny Was a Shoemaker lyrics]
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
To reef 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 spyglass 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
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
To reef 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 spyglass 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
