 So there was an end of one, two, and three, Heigho, says Rowley, The rat, and the mouse, and the little froggee, With a rowley powley, gammon and spinach, Heigho, says Anthony Rowley!

XVIII. MY JOHNNY WAS A SHOEMAKER

My Johnny was a shoemaker, And dearly he loved me; My Johnny was a shoemaker, But now he's gone to sea. With nasty pitch to soil his hands, And sail the stormy sea. My Johnny was a shoemaker.

His jacket was deep sky blue, And curly was his hair; His jacket was deep sky blue, It was as I declare. To reef the topsail now he's gone, And sail across the stormy sea. My Johnny was a shoemaker.

And he will be a captain, by and by, With a brave and gallant crew.
