Johnny Todd Lyrics
Johnny Todd - The Spinners
Lyrics by：Francis Bosworth
Composed by：Francis Bosworth
Johnny Todd he took a notion
To go 'cross the ocean wide
And he left his love behind him
Walkin' down the Liverpool side
Walkin' down the Liverpool side
For a week she wept full sorrows
Tore her hair and wrung her hands
Till she met another sailor
Walkin' down the Liverpool sands
Walkin' down the Liverpool sands
Why fair maid are you a-weeping
For your Johnny gone to sea
If you wed with me tomorrow
I'll will cand them constantly
I'll will cand them constantly
I will buy you ship and blankets
I'll buy you a wedding ring
You shall have a gilded cradle
For to rock you baby in
For to rock you baby in
Johnny Todd came home from sailin'
Sailin' on that ocean wide
For to find his fair and false one
Was another sailor's bride
Was another sailor's bride
All you men who go a-sailing
For to fight the foreign foe
Never leave you love like Johnny
Marry her before you go
