\begin{verse}
|
|
\[D]Well who wouldn't be a sailor lad, sailing on the main
|
|
\[A]To gain the good will of \[D]his captain's good name
|
|
He \[G]came ashore \[D]one evening for \[A]to be
|
|
And that was the beginning of me old true love \[D]and me
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\begin{chorus}
|
|
\[D]And it's home boys home, home I'd like to be
|
|
\[G] Home for \[D]a while in me \[A]own country
|
|
Where \[D]the Oak and \[G]the Ash
|
|
And \[D]the bonny Ro\[A]wan tree
|
|
Are all growing greener in the \[D]old country
|
|
\end{chorus}

|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Well I asked her for a candle for to light me way to bed
|
|
And likewise for a handkerchief to tie around me head
|
|
She tended to me needs like a young maid aught to do
|
|
And then I said to her now would you lep in with me too
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Well she jumped into bed making no alarm
|
|
Thinking a young sailor lad could do to her no harm
|
|
Well I hugged her and I kissed her the whole night long
|
|
Till she wished the short night, had been seven years long
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Well early next morning the sailor lad arose
|
|
And into Mary's apron threw a handful of gold
|
|
Saying ``take this me dear for the mischief that I've done
|
|
For tonight I fear I've left you with a daughter or a son
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Well if it be a girl child send her out to nurse
|
|
With gold in her pocket and silver in her purse
|
|
And if it be a boy child, he'll ware the jacket blue
|
|
And go climbing up the riggin' like his daddy used to do''
|
|
\end{verse}
|
|
|
|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Oh come all of you fair maidens, a warning take by me
|
|
And never let a sailor lad an inch above your knee
|
|
For I trusted one and he beguiled me
|
|
He left me with a pair of twins to dangle on me knee
|
|
