Saucy Sailor |
| Come my own one, come my fair one, |
| Come now unto me, |
| Could you fancy a poor sailor lad |
| Who has just come from sea. |
| You are ragged love, you are dirty love, |
| And your clothes smell much of tar, |
| So be gone you saucy sailor lad, |
| So be gone you Jack Tar. |
| If I am ragged love and I am dirty love, |
| And my clothes smell much of tar, |
| I have silver in my pocket love |
| And gold in great store. |
| And then when she heard him say so On her bended knees she fell, |
| I will marry my dear Henry |
| For I love a sailor lad so well. |
| Do you think that I am foolish love, |
| Do you think that I am mad, |
| For to wed with a poor country girl |
| Where no fortune’s to be had. |
| I will cross the briny ocean, |
| I will whistle and sing, |
| And since you have refused the offer love |
| Some other girl shall wear the ring. |
| I am frolicsome, I am easy, |
| Good tempered and free, |
| And I don’t give a single pin my boys |
| What the world thinks of me. |
