Tour Scotland Music Video My Johnny Was A Shoemaker

Tour Scotland music video recommendation. Barbara Dickson singing My Johnny Was A Shoemaker. Barbara Ruth Dickson, OBE, born in Dunfermline, Fife, on the 27th of September 1947 is a wonderful Scottish singer.

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 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.
