Waltz with me gently Johnny my love
Come to me quietly, do not do me injury
He promised me he'd carry me over the sea
And spoke to me quietly, whispers of eternity with me,
With me.
He came to me quietly and still he did me injury
He promised me, Johnny, then he broke me
My love
So come to me quietly and do not do me injury
Don't promise me you'll carry me over the sea
Just stand with me steadily
Until I'm free
To waltz with thee merrily, merrily my love
To waltz with thee merrily, merrily my love
