SAUCY SAILOR
Traditional Music & Lyrics
Arrangement: Heather Alexander

“Come my own one, come my fair one,
Come now unto me-
Would ya fancy a poor sailor lad
Who has just come from the sea?”

“Well you are ragged, love, and yer dirty, love,
and yer clothes smell much of tar-
So begone, you Saucy Sailor lad!
So begone, you Jack Tar!”

“If I am ragged, love, and I’m dirty, love,
and me clothes smell much of tar-
I have silver in me pockets, love,
I have gold in great store!”

And when she heard him say so,
On her bended knee 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 dowry’s to be had?”

“I will cross the briny ocean,
I will whistle and sing-
And since you have refused me offer, love,
Some other girl shall wear the ring!”

“For I am frolicsome, I am easy,
Good tempered, and free-
And I don’t give a single pin, me boys,
What the world thinks of me!”
