Dm C C Dm
from a barque in the harbour i went roaming on shore
F C Dm C
and stepped into a pub where i was oft times before
F Dm C Dm
and as i was sitting and enjoying my glass
Dm C C Dm C Dm C
who chanced to walk in but a young spanish lass

Dm C C Dm
she sat down beside me and kept squeezing my hand
F C Dm C
saying sir you’re a stranger not long to this land
F Dm C Dm
will you roam , johnny sailor , would you roam along with me
Dm C C Dm C
to some lonesome spot where nobody can see

F C Dm C
don’t you leave me johnny sailor were the words she did cry
Dm C F C
waving and weeping and wiping her eyes
F C Dm C
when you reach home in your own newfoundland
Dm C C Dm C Dm C
think of the young spaniard who kept squeezing your hand

Dm C C Dm
i quickly consented with her for to roam
F C Dm C
she lived by herself in a neat little home
F Dm C Dm
she was brisk , plump and jolly and her age scare nineteen
Dm C C Dm C Dm C
and the name of that maiden i think was irene

Dm C C Dm
one fine summer’s morning our ship , she set sail
F C Dm C
and down by the seashore lovely irene she came
F Dm C Dm
waving her pocket hankerchief and wiping her eyes
Dm C C Dm C
don’t leave me johnny sailor were the words she did cry

Dm C C Dm
i’ll give you farewell love on a fine summer’s breeze
F C Dm C
but love don’t forget me when you’re crossing the sea
F Dm C Dm
and when you are married and enjoying your bride
Dm C C Dm
think on the young maiden who lay by your side
