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. |
