My Jolly Sailor Bold - Rachel Hardy/Colm McGuinness

Hmmmmm

Hmmmmm

Mmmm

Upon one summer's morning

I carefully did stray

Down by the walls of wapping

Where I met a sailor gay

Conversing with a young lass

Who seem to be in pain

Saying William when you go

I fear you'll never return again

My heart is pierced by cupid

I disdain all glittering gold

There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold

His hair it hangs in ringlets

His eyes as black as coal

My happiness attend him

Wherever he may go

From tower hill to blackwall

I'll wander weep and moan

All for my jolly sailor

Until he sails home

My heart is pierced by cupid

I disdain all glittering gold

There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold

Come all you pretty fair maids

Whoever you may be

Who love a jolly sailor

That plows the raging sea

While up aloft in storm

From me his absence mourn

And firmly pray arrive the day

He's never more to roam

My heart is pierced by cupid

I disdain all glittering gold

There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold

My heart is pierced by cupid

I disdain all glittering gold

There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold
