about

Traditional song of love for one's sweetheart gone to sea.

lyrics

My Johnny Was A Shoemaker
(traditional, arr. Winter)

My Johnny was a shoemaker
And dearly he loved me
My Johnny was a shoemaker
Bu now he' gone to sea
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
