I love my Johnny, he's all that I have But a pirate is all he strives to be My heart is with him But my home's with the land, not the sea
So I'll sit on my organ and play all my notes 'til at last we drop anchor at bay I know Johnny will leave at departure I wish that he'd stay
Say what you wanna I'm caught in the rudders I'm floating on seven drinks in The boat is still sailing But my heart is failing To be there for my only man
New York sounds fancy, they eat with handkerchiefs Yet drink like a drunkard in June Want the lights of the city I'm sick of the light of the moon
Poor Johnny likes water, likе lambs to the slaughter Our love's ran a rig on our hopе I know I'll hang the jib 'til we heave to my own newfound home
I'm feeling seasick I'm lost in my feelings I long for a home on the shore The waves will get higher I'll drown in desires Hope Johnny and I will move forward
