The song My Johnny Was a Shoemaker is performed by Steeleye Span in the album named The Lark in the Morning: The Early Years in the year 2003 .
My Johnny was a shoemaker and did he love me
My Johnny was a shoemaker but 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 curly was his hair
His jacket was a deep sky-blue, it was a do declare
For to reeve the top sails 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 gla*s 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
