| Lyrics: | THE TARRY SAILOR
Come all my fair ones, come all my fond ones
Come and listen unto
me,
Could you fancy a bully sailor lad
That has just come home from sea?
Could you
fancy a bully sailor lad
That has just come home from sea?
"No indeed, I'll wed no
sailor,
For they smell too much of tar
You are ragged, you are sassy,
Get you gone,
you Jackie Tar.
You are ragged, you are sassy,
Get you gone, you Jackie
Tar.
"I have ships all on the ocean,
I have gold in great galore,
Me clothes
they may be all in rags,
But coin can buy me more.
When there's others to be had!
That I'd wed the likes of you, Miss,
When there's others to be had!"
"No indeed
I'll cross the ocean,
And my ships shall spread her wings,
You refused me, ragged,
dirty,
Not for you the wedding ring,
You refused me, ragged, dirty,
Not for you
the wedding ring."
From Shanties from the Seven Seas, Hugill
