It's of a pretty female [D] as you [B] may
[E] understand Her mind being bent and rambling [A] unto [D] some far [E] off land
She dressed herself in men's attire [B] as though it was [E] a pair And she hired with a sea captain [D] to serve [A] him for [E] a year
And the captain's wife, she being on board, she's deemed it in great joy To think her husband had engaged such [A] a handsome [E] cabin boy
And now and then she'd slip him a kiss [A] and she would [D] have liked to [E] touch eye But it was the captain found out the secrets of this handsome cabin boy
Her cheeks they were like roses red and her hair [A] lay in [E] a curl The sailors often smiled and [E] said she looked just like a girl
But eating of the captain's biscuits [A] the colour [E] it did destroy And the waiter did so well, a pretty now [D] was his [A] handsome [E] cabin boy

It was in the bay of Biscay that [D] our [E] gallant ship did allow That night amongst the sailors was [A] a fearful baloney in [E] a row
They tumbled up from their hammocks and their [A] sleep [E] it did destroy And they swore about the groaning of this handsome cabin boy
Oh doctor, dear oh doctor, [A] this cabin boy [E] did cry The time had come, I am undone and surely I will die
Well the doctor he came a-running and a-smiling at the pond For to think a sailor lad should have a daughter or a song
And the sailors when they saw the joke they all did [A] stand and stare This child belonged to none of them, they [D]
solemnly [E] did swear
The captain's wife she said to [Em] him, me dear I wish you joy For it's either you or me who's betrayed this [D] handsome [A] cabin boy
And then each man took his pot of rum [D] and they drank their last [Em] to trade [E] And likewise to the cabin boy was [A] neither man [E] married
His hope and lord don't rise again [A] our sailors [D] do [E] decry And they've opened for a jolly lot more [D] like the [A] handsome cabin boy
