My Johnny Was A Shoemaker - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
MY JOHNNY WAS A SHOEMAKER Words and Music by W. J. Florence. 
My Johnny was a shoemaker, And dearly he loved me; My Johnny was a shoemaker, But now he's gone to sea. With nasty tar to soil his hands, And sail across the briny sea, My Johnny was a shoemaker. 
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 top-sails he has gone, To sail across the briny sea, My Johnny was a shoemaker. 
A captain he will be bye-and-bye, With a sword and spy-glass, too; A captain he will be bye-and-bye, With a brave and valiant crew. And when he gets a vessel of his own, He'll come back and marry me, My Johnny was a shoemaker. 
And when I am a captain's wife, I'll sing the whole day long; Yes. when I am a captain's wife, And this will be my song: May peace and plenty bless our days, And the little one on my knee, My Johnny was a shoemaker.
