[C] [G] William Taylor was a brisk young sailor, full of heart [D] and full of play,

Four and twenty British soldiers met him on the King's Highway,
as he went for to be [Em] married, Prestie was sent away.

[G] Sailor's clothing she put on, she went on board of the man of war,
pretty little fingers, long and [Em] slender, they were smeared with pitch and [G] tar.
On the ship there was a battle, she amongst the rest did fight,
and the wind blew up her [Em] silver buttons, the rest were bare, no snowy white.
Follow diddle [D] dum dum a day, ride [C] diddle row, follow diddle dum dum a day, ride a.
