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
