        Dm
From a barque in the harbour I went roaming on shore
            C
And stepped into a pub where I was oft times before
    Dm
And as I was sitting and enjoying my glass
      C
Who chanced to walk in but a young Spanish lass

     Dm
She sat down beside me and kept squeezing my hand
        C
Saying Sir you're a stranger not long to this land
          Dm
Will you roam, Johnny Sailor, would you roam along with me
    C
To some lonesome spot where nobody can see

C
    Don't you leave me Johnny Sailor were the words she did cry
     C
    Waving and weeping and wiping her eyes
      C
    When you reach home in your own Newfoundland
          C
    Think of the young Spaniard who kept squeezing your hand


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

     Dm
One fine summer's morning our ship, she set sail
     C
And down by the seashore lovely Irene she came
        Dm
Waving her pocket hankerchief and wiping her eyes
       C
Don't leave me Johnny Sailor were the words she did cry



      Dm
I'll give you farewell love on a fine summer's breeze
     C
But love don't forget me when you're crossing the sea
      Dm
And when you are married and enjoying your bride
      Dm
