Rosemary Lane |
When I was in service in the Rosemary Lane |
I won the good will of my master Amberdine |
'Till a young sailor came there one night to lie |
And that was the beginning of my misery |
He called for a candle to light him to bed |
Likewise a silk handkerchief to tie up his head |
To tie up his head as sailors will do |
«And third my pretty Polly, won’t you come too?» |
This may be young and foolish, she thought it no harm |
To lie onto bed for to keep herself warm |
And what was done there, I will never disclose |
But I wish that short night had been seven long years |
Next morning this sailor so early arose |
And into my apron three guineas did throw |
Saying «This I will give and more I will do |
If you’d be my pretty Polly wherever I go» |
And if it’s a boy, he will fight for the King |
And if it’s a girl she will wear a gold ring |
Wear a gold ring and a dress all of light |
And remember my service in the Rosemary Lane |
When I was in service in the Rosemary Lane |
I won the good will of my master Amberdine |
'Till a young sailor came there one night to lie |
And that was the beginning of my misery |
