Verses:
AAAA
Come me own one, come me fair one, come now unto me
DmAADG
Could you fancy a poor sailor lad, Who has just come from sea?
AAAA
You are ragged love, you are dirty love, and your clothes smell much of tar
DmAADG
So begone you saucy sailor lad, so begone you Jack Tar
AAAA
If I am ragged love, and I'm dirty love, and me clothes smell much of tar
DmAADG
I have silver in me pocket love, and gold in great store
AAAA
And then when she heard him say so on her bended knee she fell
DmAADG
I will marry my dear Henry for I love a sailor lad so well
AAAA
Do you think that I am foolish love, Do you think that I am mad?
DmAADG
For to wed with a poor country girl, Where no fortune's to be had
AAAA
I will cross the briny ocean, I will whistle and sing
DmAADG
And since you have refused me offer love, some other girl shall wear the ring
AAAA
I am frolicsome, and I am easy, good tempered and free
DmAADD/C
And I don't give a single pin me boys, What the world thinks of me
