Johnny Todd he took a notion For to cross the ocean wide And he left his love behind him Walkin' down by the Liverpool tide. For a week she wept full sorrows Tore her hair and wrung her hands Till she met another sailor Walkin' down by the Liverpool sands. Why fair maid are you a-weeping For your Johnny gone to sea? If you wed with me tomorrow I'll be by you constantly. I will buy you clothes and blankets I'll buy you a wedding ring. You shall have a gilded cradle For to rock you baby in. Johnny Todd came home from sailin' Sailin' on that ocean wide And he found his fair and false one Was another sailor's bride. Now, all you men who go a-sailing For to fight the foreign foe. Never leave, never leave love like Johnny Marry her before you go.
