Johnny's gone a-sailing with trouble on his mind,
For the leaving of his country and his darling girl behind.

REFRAIN:
Dora lee a laddie, dora lee my lily oh.

She's gone to the tailor's shop and dressed in a man's array
Shipped onboard a man-a-war, conveyed herself away

"Before you step on board, sir, your name I'd like to know."
With a smile upon her countenance she answered, "John Monroe!"

"Your waist it is quite slender and your fingers they are small
And your cheeks they are too rosy to face the cannon ball."

"My waist it is quite slender and my fingers they are small,
But I'll never faint nor falter, if ten thousand 'round me fall!"

“I am not your daughter, and her I do not know,
For I’ve just come from the battlefield, and they call me Jack Munro.”

The drums did loudlu rattle, sweet music they did play
And onto the field of battle they soon did sail away

When the war was over in the circle she march around
And a man the dead an wandered her darling love she've found
