Johnny Todd

Johnny Todd he's taken a notion

For to sail across the sea

And he's left his own dear Jeannie

Weeping on the Greenock quay

Weep no more my own dear Jeannie

Take your bairn upon your knee

I'll return and we'll be married

Down upon the Greenock quay

Johnny's gone in search of riches

For Australia he is bound

Handsome in his canvas britches

All to sail the world around

Weep no more my own dear Jeannie

Take your bairn upon your knee

I'll return and we'll be married

Down upon the Greenock quay

Many's the Winter's night she's waited

For a ship out on the bay

Friends may tell her she's forsaken

But she still could hear him say

Weep no more my own dear Jeannie

Take your bairn upon your knee

I'll return and we'll be married

Down upon the Greenock quay

Then one morning bright and early

In the Springtime of the year

She spied a ship out on the water

Bringing Johnny to his dear

Weep no more my own dear Jeannie

Take your bairn upon your knee

I'll return and we'll be married

Down upon the Greenock quay
