Lyrics

[Verse 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 to sail across the sea Stormy sea, and sail across the stormy sea [Verse 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 To reef the topsails up against the mast and to sail across the sea Stormy sea, and sail across the stormy sea [Verse 3] 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
