Little Johnny Sailed From London

Little Johnny sailed from London,
Little Johnny went to sea
Little Johnny he sailed back where Johnny used to be

Bring in your daughter Polly and place her on my knee
We'll drown the melancholy and married we will be

What luck had you at sea dear John?
What luck had you at sea?
My luck it was misfortune, all sad and misery

My daughter Polly's rich John and you are very poor
And if she were here John she'd drive you out the door

Little Johnny being drowsy he hung down his head
He called for a candle to light him off to bed

My green beds they are full John
They have been all this week
Besides when you have no money
Your lodgings you must seek

Little Johnny called for the landlord
To see what he must pay
Little Johnny called for the landlord
To see what he would say

20 of the new John and 10 of the old
Little Johnny he pulled out both hands full of gold

In came her daughter Polly with a smile upon her face
She threw her arms around John's neck
And John she did embrace

Little John you are my darling, little John you are my dear
My green beds they are empty and you shall lie there

Before I would lie there I'd lie out in the street
Besides when I had no money my lodging I must seek

But I have money plenty, can make the dollars hurl
And I'll go walking down the aisle with some other girl
