verse 1 Journeyman came up one night With walking he was weary A journeyman came up one night When the moon shone bright and clearly He spied a fox upon the road Running through the heather He caught that fox upon the road Whose eyes where quick and clever Chorus Johnny's gone this night to town He's on his way tonight When morning comes no need to work For gold and silver bright verse 2 The fox said sir let me free And keep me from the town-o The fox said sir wishes three I'll grant before the dawn-o The first one said the journeyman Pointing to his whiskey My first wish to you is that My bottle'll never be empty Chorus Johnny's gone this night to town He's on his way tonight When morning comes no need to work For gold and silver bright verse 3 To test his wish the young man drank But could not drain the bottle Before too long the young man sank And the fox began to smile When morn's first light crept o'er the brink And still the young man slumbered The fox he hid the young mans drink And left him there bewildered Chorus x2 Johnny's gone this night to town He's on his way tonight When morning comes no need to work For gold and silver bright
