Jonny Todd he had a notion For to sail the wide ocean As he left his true love weeping on the river Mersey side For a week she wept uncontrollably, tor her hair out and rung her hands Until she met another sailor walking on the Liverpool sands He said my fair lady are you weeping for your Jonny If you marry me tomorrow I will kind and constantly be I will buy you sheets and blankets And i will buy you a wedding ring You shall have a gilded cradle to rock your baby in Jonny Todd came home from the ocean After sailing all the worlds oceans wide For to find his false love was another's ones bride So for you men that go and sail the ocean Or to fight the foreign foe Make sure that you marry you love before you go
