Goodbye John, don't stay long
Come back soon like it says in the song
Goodbye John, some fine year
Come back home, I'll be waiting here

Farewell my fair, my own, my bonny
Farewell my handsome, winsome Johnny
If I cry, it won't show
Goodbye John, don't go

(Instrumental Break)

Farewell my handsome, winsome Johnny
If I cry, it won't show
Goodbye John, don't go
