Tell Me True |
Father, father build me a boat |
That on the ocean I go and float |
And every king ship that do pass by |
There I’ll inquire for my sailor boy |
I hadn’t been sailing but half an hour |
Before I met a bold man of war |
Captain, captain tell me true |
Is my sweet sailor man on board with you? |
'No kind lady he is not here |
That he is drowned most breaks my fear |
The earth and night, the wind blew high |
That’s when you lost your sweet sailor boy.' |
I’ll set me down |
I’ll write a song |
I’ll write it neat and I’ll write it long |
In every verse, I’ll shed a tear |
In every lin hold sweet William dear |
She wrung her hands and she tore her hair |
Just like a lady in deep despair |
A boat against the rocks did run |
'How can I live now my William’s gone?' |
