Generate meaning
1
From a barque in the harbour I went roaming on shore
2
And stepped into a pub where I was oft times before
3
And as I was sitting and enjoying my glass
4
Who chanced to walk in but a young Spanish lass
5
She sat down beside me and kept squeezing my hand
6
Saying 'Sir you're a stranger not long to this land'
7
Will you roam, Johnny Sailor, would you roam along with me
8
To some lonesome spot where nobody can see
9
[Chorus:]
10
'Don't you leave me Johnny Sailor' were the words she did cry
11
Waving and weeping and wiping her eyes
12
When you reach home in your own Newfoundland
13
Think of the young Spaniard who kept squeezing your hand
14
I quickly consented with her for to roam
15
She lived by herself in a neat little home
16
She was brisk, plump and jolly and her age scare 19
17
And the name of that maiden I think was Irene
18
One fine summer's morning our ship, she set sail
19
And down by the seashore lovely Irene she came
20
Waving her pocket hankerchief and wiping her eyes
21
'Don't leave me Johnny Sailor' were the words she did cry
22
[Chorus:]
23
I'll give you farewell love on a fine summer's breeze
24
But love don't forget me when you're crossing the sea
25
And when you are married and enjoying your bride
26
Think on the young maiden who lay by your side
27
[Chorus:]
