Original text with translation
Steeleye Span
My Johnny was a shoemaker and dearly he loved me
My Johnny was a shoemaker but now he’s gone to sea
With pitch and tar to soil his hands
And to sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea
His jacket was a deep sky blue and curly was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky blue, it was, I do declare
For to reive the topsails up against the mast
And to sail across the sea, stormy sea
And sail across the stormy sea
Some day he’ll be a captain bold with a brave and a gallant crew
Some day he’ll be a captain bold with a sword and spyglass too
And when he has a gallant captain’s sword
He’ll come home and marry me, marry me
He’ll come home and marry me
