Come me young one, come me fair one, come now unto me.
[Eb] Could you fancy [Bb] a poor sailor lad who is just [Ab] a [Eb] music?
[Bb] You are ragged love and you're dirty love and your clothes smell much of tar.
[Eb] So be gone you [Bb] saucy sailor lad, so be gone [Ab] you [Eb] jacked tar.
[Ab] [Eb] [Bb] If I am ragged love and I'm dirty love and me clothes smell much of tar,
[Eb] I have silver [Bb] in me pocket, love, and [Ab] gold [Eb] in me sport.
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] And then when she heard him say so on a bended knee she fell,
[Eb] I will marry [Bb] my dear Henry for I love [Ab] a sailor [Eb] lad so well.

[Ab] [Eb] I,
[Ab] I [Bb] will cross a briny ocean, I will whistle and sing,
[Eb] And since you've [Bb] refused the offer, love some other [Ab] girl, [Eb] she'll never be.
[Ab] [Eb] Oh, [Bb] I am a frolic, someone I am easy, good-tempered and free,
[Eb] And I don't give a [Bb] single pinny, boy, is what the world [Ab] thinks [Eb] of me.
