Oh who is like my Johnny,
Site leish, sae blythe, sae bonny I
He's foremost 'mang the monny
Keel lads o' coaly Tyne;
He'll set or row sae tightly,
Or in the dance sae sprightly,
He'll cut and shufflle sightly,
'Tis true — were he not mine,
Weel may the keel row, &c.
He has nae mair o' learning,
Than tells his weekly earning
Yet right frae wrang discerning,
Tho' brave, nae bruiser he ;
The' he no* worth a plack is.
His ain coat on his back is,
And nane can say that black is
The white o' Johnny's e'e.
Weel may the keel row, &c.
As I cam thro' Sandgate,
Thro' Sandgate, thro" Sandgate,
As I cam thro' Sandgate,
I heard a lassie sing —
Weel may the keel row.
The keel row, the keel row,
Weel may the keel row
That my lad's in.
Weel may the keel row, &c.
He wears a blue bonnet.
Blue bonnet, blue bonnet.
He wears a blue bonnet,
A dimple in his chin;
And weel may the keel row.
The keel row, the keel row.
And weel may the keel row.
That my lad's in.
Weel may the keel row, &o»
