Introdução:
D
Journeyman came up one night
Bm
With walking he was weary
Em
A journeyman came up one night
G
When the moon shone bright and clearly
D
He spied a fox upon the road
Bm
Running through the heather
Em
He caught that fox upon the road
G
Whose eyes where quick and clever
Chorus
D
Johnny's gone this night to town
A2 Bm G
He's on his way tonight
D
When morning comes no need to work
A2 Bm G
For gold and silver bright
verse 2
D
The fox said sir let me free
Bm
And keep me from the town-o
Em
The fox said sir wishes three
G
I'll grant before the dawn-o
D
The first one said the journeyman
Bm
Pointing to his whiskey
Em
My first wish to you is that
G
My bottle'll never be empty
Chorus
D
Johnny's gone this night to town
A2 Bm G
He's on his way tonight
D
When morning comes no need to work
A2 Bm G
For gold and silver bright
verse 3
D
To test his wish the young man drank
Bm
But could not drain the bottle
Em
Before too long the young man sank
G
And the fox began to smile
D
When morn's first light crept o'er the brink
Bm
And still the young man slumbered
Em
The fox he hid the young mans drink
G
And left him there bewildered
Chorus x2
D
Johnny's gone this night to town
A2 Bm G
He's on his way tonight
D
When morning comes no need to work
A2 Bm G
For gold and silver bright
