verse 1 
D 
Journeyman came up one night 
                    Bm 
With walking he was weary 
Em 
A journeyman came up one night 
         G 
When the moon shone bright and clearly 
D 
He spied a fox upon the road 
                    Bm 
Running through the heather 
Em 
He caught that fox upon the road 
      G            
Whose eyes where quick and clever 

[Refrão]

Chorus 
D 
Johnny's gone this night to town 
     Asus2  Bm    G 
He's on his way tonight 
D 
When morning comes no need to work 
     Asus2   Bm     G 
For gold and silver bright 

verse 2 
D 
The fox said sir let me free 
                     Bm 
And keep me from the town-o 
Em 
The fox said sir wishes three 
     G 
I'll grant before the dawn-o 
D 
The first one said the journeyman 
                Bm 
Pointing to his whiskey 
Em 
My first wish to you is that 
   G 
My bottle'll never be empty 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
D 
Johnny's gone this night to town 
     Asus2  Bm    G 
He's on his way tonight 
D 
When morning comes no need to work 
     Asus2   Bm     G 
For gold and silver bright 

verse 3 
D 
To test his wish the young man drank 
                        Bm 
But could not drain the bottle 
Em 
Before too long the young man sank 
        G 
And the fox began to smile 
D 
When morn's first light crept o'er the brink 
                        Bm 
And still the young man slumbered 
Em 
The fox he hid the young mans drink 
    G 
And left him there bewildered
