To sDmome lonesome spot whCere nobCody can sDmeeC

Dm C Dm C

Dm C C Dm

From a barque in the harbour I went roaming on shore

F C Dm C

And stepped into a pub where I was oft times before

F Dm C Dm

And as I was sitting and enjoying my glass

Dm C C Dm C Dm C

Who chanced to walk in but a young Spanish lass

Dm C C Dm

She sat down beside me and kept squeezing my hand

F C Dm C

Saying Sir you're a stranger not long to this land

F Dm C Dm

Will you roam, Johnny Sailor, would you roam along with me

Dm C C Dm C

To some lonesome spot where nobody can see

F C Dm C

Don't you leave me Johnny Sailor were the words she did cry

When you reach home in your own Newfoundland

I quickly consented with her for to roam
