Paroles
I wish I was in london or some other sea port town,
i could set my foot in a steam boot and sail the ocean round.
Sail around the ocean, sail around the sea,
i'll dig my handsome johhnny wehere ever he may be.
He worte to george on sunday, but he passed me on by,
I could tell his mind was changing by the roving off his eye.
Don't you remember johnny when you gave to me your heart,
you said if I ever marry that you would be the man
(you would be the man, you would be the man)
you said if i ever marry you would like to me the man.
But now you broke your promise go and marry who you you please,
while my poor heart is breaking you lied right off your ears.
Never fall in love with a young man with a doving roving eye,
just kiss him and embrace him and then tell him goodbeye,
but his hair was blakc as the raven his eyes black as the grove,
his skin was like the lilies that in the fielsds to blow.
I wish I was in london or some other sea port town,
I could set my foot in a steam boot and sail the ocean round...
