lyrics

Last night being windy I slept unsound
I dreamed my true love could not be found
I searched the green fields and the mountains high
For the lad that I love is a sailor boy

Johnny Johnny I love you well
I love you better than my lips can tell
I love you better than my parents too
I'd forsake them all and I'd go with you

CHORUS
And still she cries I love him the best
And a troubled mind sure can know no rest
And still she cries bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do

I wish I wish I wish I wish in vain
I wish I were a maid again
But I know I know I know that cannot be
'Til apples grow on an orange tree

CHORUS

Last night being windy I slept unsound
I dreamed my true love could not be found
I searched the green fields and the mountains high
For the lad that I love is a sailor boy
