Adder's Fork - Shoemaker's Hornpipe Lyrics

My Johnny was a shoemaker and dearly he loved me
My Johnny was a shoemaker and 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 cloudy was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky blue, it was, I do declare
For to reive the topsail 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 spy-glass too
And when he has his gallant captain's sword
He'll come home and marry me, marry me, he'll come home and marry me

He'll come home and marry me
