My Johnnie Is A Shoemaker

My Johnny is a shoemaker
And he has gone to sea
To reeve the topsail he has gone
Far cross the raging sea.
His jacket is a deep sea blue
And golden is his hair
This I know and I do declare
My Johnny is a shoemaker
A captain he’ll be bye and bye
With a brave and a gallant crew
This I know and I do declare
My Johnny is a shoemaker.
My Johnny is a shoemaker
And he has gone to sea
To reeve the topsail he has gone
Far cross the raging sea.
The author of this website has put a lot of time and effort into gathering the greatest collection of sea shanties for the world to enjoy - There are songs that have been to sung to a job of work at sea for many, many years and collecting them has been a great endeavour. - Roger Chartier has made the effort out of his own interest and the requests that he has gotten to do this work from fellow musicians who wanted a good source of sea shanties to draw on and learn from. He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
