Johnny’s A Rover
August 1977, Song # 7
Come on now Johnny and kick off your shoes
Sit by the fire and slap off the blues
Evening is turning the day to a joke
And now you deserve a good hearty smoke
Oh but Johnny’s a rover
Oh his stay’s almost over
Oh, Hey, Ho, Hi
Oh, Hi, Ho, Hey
Wake up now Johnny and stifle that yawn
If you don’t hurry yer ship’ll be gone
Shore is a nice place, but it ain’t yer home
So love all the girls and leave ’em alone
Oh, but Johnny’s a rover
Oh, his stay is over
Oh, Hey, Ho, Hi
Oh, Hi, Ho, Hey
Come on now Johnny and kick off your shoes
Sit on the deck and slap off the blues
Eight bells are ringing, the watch is a joke
And now you deserve a good hearty smoke
Oh, but Johnny’s a rover
Oh, his trick is over
Oh, Hey, Ho, Hi
Oh, Hi, Ho, Hey
