Johnnie left his home As a rebel he was known A carpenter by trade But a Jacobite by name
A sailor's life he chose Off the Nova Scotian coast Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes He sailed away this fall For a shilling now that's all Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes
Strike the hammer to the cable For the capstan keeps on turning Push now Johnnie, push now Johnnie All the way to Glen Dessarry Where the lass you married Waulks the wool with arms aweary Push now Johnnie, push now Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes now Johnnie
The northern wind it blows Oh, wherever Johnnie goes Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes The Highlands white with snow And stowed away the plough So do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes
No rest upon this boat From the stern up to the sprout Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes To head back home be time For now pardoned be his crimes So do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes
Belle isle is over frozen And a longer route now chosen Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes But Spring has come so fair And the share's behind the mare So do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes
We're making way so slowly And waters here be shoaly Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes The rams now have been shorn And your baby boy was born So do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes
So high the waves do roll In this godforsaken hole Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes But Lochaber's in bloom In the bonny Highland June So do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes
Oh, Johnnie sighs and moans From the rigging he was thrown Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes While bound his sweet colleen For the fields to reape and glean So do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes
Strike the hammer to the cable For the capstan keeps on turning Push now Johnnie, push now Johnnie All the way to Glen Dessarry Where the lass you married Waulks the wool with arms aweary Push now Johnnie, push now Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes now Johnnie
Johnnie took his his final rest Three days just from Durness Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goes In cerement enclosed And a stitch right through his nose Do another lap 'round the capstan Johnnie 'Round and 'round she goesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
