Johnny McEvoy - John williams

When ^Glast I saw John Williams, a ^Cyoung man ^Gfull of ^Dpride His ^Glovely bride of just four ^Cdays was ^Gstanding ^Dby his s^Gide He ^Gsmiled and took me by the hand, saying "^CBoyo ^Gcan't you ^Dsee I^G've seen the last of windswept ^Cbogs and ^Gbogs the l^Dast of ^Gme! And the ^Cpeelers and the l^Gand lords and the ^Crisings of the ^Dmoon And if ^Gever I return ^Cagain, 'twill ^Gbe too ^Dbloody ^Gsoon"

^DRich man , ^D7poor man, ^Cbeggar man, ^Gwife ^DSailed aw^D7ay into the ^Gnight Where they'll wind up ^Cno-one ^Gknows Round and round the^D story ^Ggoes

He ^Gsaid "I'll go and take my chance in ^Cfar off ^GNew York ^DTown For they s^Gay there's lots of work ^Cthere and a g^Good man ^Dwont stay ^Gdown And ^Gwith my lassie by my side we'll ^Cbuild a ^Gbetter ^Dhome And w^Ghen the sea trip's over l^Cads we ^Gnever ^Dmore will ^Groam" So we ^Csaid farewell up^Gon the quay, there was ^Cnothing left to d^Do But to^G pray for John and his lovely ^Cbride, that their d^Greams might ^Dall come ^Gtrue

How I ^Genvied you, John Williams, and your ^Clovely ^Gfair haired ^Dbride To be ^Gsailing on that mighty ^Cship acr^Goss the o^Dcean ^Gwide For ^Gshe's the finest liner, that was ^Cever ^Gbuilt by ^Dman And they ^Gsay there's naught c^Can sink her, ^Gnot even G^Dod's own h^Gand Man's ^Cpride can be his o^Gwn downfall, that ^Cbig ship ^Gsailed form ^Dhome And I ^Gthought I heard the banshee ^Ccry, and it ^Gchilled me ^Dto the ^Gbone

^DRich man , ^D7poor man, ^Cbeggar man, w^Gife ^DSailed aw^D7ay into the n^Gight Where they'll wind up ^Cno-one ^Gknows Round and round the s^Dtory go^Ges Round and around the ^Dicebergs ^Gflow.
