[Intro]
D Asus2 Bm Fm G A D
[Verse 1]
DJourneyman came up one night
With walking he was Bmweary
EmA journeyman came up one night
When the Gmoon shone bright and clearly
DHe spied a fox upon the road
Running through the Bmheather
EmHe caught that fox upon the road
Whose Geyes where quick and clever
[Chorus]
DJohnny's gone this night to town
He's Asus2on his Bmway toGnight
DWhen morning comes no need to work
For gAsus2old and Bmsilver Gbright
[Verse 2]
DThe fox said sir let me free
And keep me from the Bmtown-o
EmThe fox said sir wishes three
I'll Ggrant before the dawn-o
DThe first one said the journeyman
Pointing to his Bmwhiskey
EmMy first wish to you is that
My Gbottle'll never be empty
[Chorus]
DJohnny's gone this night to town
He's Asus2on his Bmway toGnight
DWhen morning comes no need to work
For gAsus2old and Bmsilver Gbright
[Verse 3]
DTo test his wish the young man drank
But could not drain the Bmbottle
EmBefore too long the young man sank
And the Gfox began to smile
DWhen morn's first light crept o'er the brink
And still the young man Bmslumbered
EmThe fox he hid the young mans drink
And Gleft him there bewildered
[Chorus] x2
DJohnny's gone this night to town
He's Asus2on his Bmway toGnight
DWhen morning comes no need to work
For gAsus2old and Bmsilver Gbright

[Intro]

D Asus2 Bm Fm G A D

[Verse 1]

Journeyman came up one night

With walking he was weary

A journeyman came up one night

When the moon shone bright and clearly

He spied a fox upon the road

Running through the heather

He caught that fox upon the road

Whose eyes where quick and clever

[Chorus]

Johnny's gone this night to town

Asus2 Bm G

He's on his way tonight

When morning comes no need to work

Asus2 Bm G

For gold and silver bright

[Verse 2]

The fox said sir let me free

And keep me from the town-o

The fox said sir wishes three

I'll grant before the dawn-o

The first one said the journeyman

Pointing to his whiskey

My first wish to you is that

My bottle'll never be empty

[Chorus]

Johnny's gone this night to town

Asus2 Bm G

He's on his way tonight

When morning comes no need to work

Asus2 Bm G

For gold and silver bright

[Verse 3]

To test his wish the young man drank

But could not drain the bottle

Before too long the young man sank

And the fox began to smile

When morn's first light crept o'er the brink

And still the young man slumbered

The fox he hid the young mans drink

And left him there bewildered

[Chorus] x2

Johnny's gone this night to town

Asus2 Bm G

He's on his way tonight

When morning comes no need to work

Asus2 Bm G

For gold and silver bright
