Lyrics

JOHN CATHY

1.) Little John Cathy lived next to the sea
and walked down each day to the shore
Hands cupped to his mouth he'd shout o're the waves
just to hear the wind answer once more
He'd cry "Hey, old Neptune, I'll sing you a song
that tells how I long to be
where the mermaids and dolphins dance way down below
in that wonderland under the sea

2.) Little John Cathy would wait on the warf
to watch the big ships sail away
and if you had stood near this stalwart young lad
I'm certain you'd hear him say
"Oh, how I yearn for the wind in my face
and the tide pulling hard out to sea
where the mermaids and dolphins dance way down below
and the fishes all join in with glee

3.) Then came a day he was walking to town
when a crusty old sailor he spied
the old man said softly with a gleam in his eye
"Johnnie, me boy now it's time
for you've been a dreamin all these years
and it's only right you should be
where the mermaids and dolphins dance way down below
in that wonderland under the sea

4.) So that night young Johnnie went sailing away
on a three-masted schooner he flew
and if you knew this bonnie young lad
you know what he'd say to you
"Hold on to your dreams, yes, hold on very tight
and some day you also will be
where the mermaids and dolphins dance way down below
and the fishes all join in with glee
in that wonderland under the sea"
