Gordon Bok – Johnny Todd (Guitar)

               E      B
Johnny Todd he took a notion

                 E     F#7   B
For to cross the ocean wide

                  E             F#7
But he'd left his little love behind him

B              E         B
Walking by the Liverpool tide

               E         B
For a week she wept with sorrow

                  E         F#7    B
Tore her hair and wrung her hands

              E               F#7
Till she met another handsome sailor

B              E         B
Walking by the Liverpool sands

                  E     B
Why fair made are you a-weeping

                E       F#7   B
For your Johnny gone to sea?

                  E           F#7
Johnny's gone and I am here beside you

B                   E        B
And I will kind and constant be

               E          B
I will buy you sheets and blankets

               E       F#7
I'll buy you a wedding ring

B                E             F#7
You shall have a little golden cradle

B               E    B
For to rock the baby in

                 E         B
Johnny Todd come home from sailing

               E     F#7   B
Sailing on the ocean wide

                 E                F#7       B
And he found his little false and fair one

            E        B
Was another sailor's bride

                       E    B
Now all young lads who go a-sailing

                 E       F#7  B
For to fight the foreign foe

                 E               F#7
Never leave your own true love behind you

B           E        B
Marry her before you go
