I am a sailor brisk and bold
Long time I've
sailed the ocean,
And if you want to know me name
Me name it is Jim Johnson.
Now
fellow shipmates, I'll bid you adieu
No more will I rove the world with you
But I'll
wander the country through and through
And I'll be a rambling sailor.
Now as I
walked out one fine day
Down by the London River
A handsome girl I chanced to spy
We
cruised along together
Her cheeks they were like the roses red
She'd a feathery bonnet all
on her head
I put the hardwood on her but she said she was a maid
The pretty little
trim-rigged doxy!
"Now I can't and I shan't and I won't go with you
You saucy rambling
sailor.
Why, me parents they would not agree
I'm promised to a tailor."
But I was
hot-shot eager to rifle her charms
"A guinea," says I, "for a roll in your arms"
The deal
it was done, and we went upstairs
Meself and the trim-rigged doxy.
It was haul out
the bow and let the stays'ls fall
And yardarm to yardarm bobbin'
Oh, me shot all gone,
asleep I falls
And soon she turned to robbin'.
She robbed me pockets of all I had
And
she took me boots from the end of the bed
Why, she even took a gold watch out from underneath
me head
The saucy little trim-rigged doxy.
And when I'd found that she was
gone
I started to roar like thunder.
Oh, me gold watch and me money too
She'd bore
them away for plunder.
But it ain't for me watch nor me money too
For them I don't value;
for I tell you true
I fear her little fire-bucket burned me bobstay through.
The saucy
little trim-rigged doxy.
