Johnny Toddy took an ocean to go across the ocean wide
and he left his love behind him weeping on the Liverpool side
weeping on the Liverpool side
for one week she wept full sorely tore her hair and wrung her hands
till she met another sailor walking on the Liverpool sands
walking on the Liverpool sands
why fair maid are you a-weeping for your Johnny gone to sea
if you wed with me tomorrow I will kind and constant be
I will kind and constant be
I will buy you sheets and blankets I'll buy you a wedding ring
you shall have a gilded cradle for to rock your baby in
for to rock your baby in Johnny Todd
came home from sailing sailing all the
ocean wide for to find his fair and
false one was another sailors bride was
another sailors bride so all young men
who go a-sailing for to fight the foreign
foe never leave your love like Johnny marry her before you go
