    Will I e'er see tomorrow,
    O Jonny lovely Jonny
    If you knew all I know.
    I have sweethearts in plenty
    Come to me and from me
    They all say they love me
    But all is in vain:
    From amongst a great many
    I love my own Jonny,
    And I'll n'er wed another
    Till he comes back again.
    If I was a - waking,
    And my coffin a - making,
    And me and my bearers
    Going down to the grave
    And my true love to hear it
    I am sure he'd be a griever,
    One kiss from his sweet lips
