A Sailor's Life - Fairport Convention[00:00:00]
A sailor's life it is a merry life[00:00:18]
He robs young girls of their heart's delight[00:00:29]
Leaving them behind to weep and mourn[00:00:40]
They never know when they will return[00:00:53]
Well there's four and twenty all in a row[00:01:08]
My true love he makes the finest show[00:01:18]
He's proper tall genteel withal[00:01:30]
And if I don't have him I'll have none at all[00:01:42]
Oh father build for me a bonny boat[00:01:58]
That on the wide ocean I may float[00:02:09]
And every Queen's ship that we pass by[00:02:23]
There I'll inquire for my sailor boy[00:02:35]
They had not sailed long upon the deep[00:03:29]
When a queen's ship they chanced to meet[00:03:40]
You sailors all pray tell me true[00:03:53]
Does my sweet William sail among your crew[00:04:04]
Oh no fair maiden he is not here[00:04:16]
For he's been drownded we greatly fear[00:04:27]
On yon green island as we passed it by[00:04:41]
There we lost sight of your sailing boy[00:04:52]
Well she rung her hands and she tore her hair[00:05:03]
She was like a young girl in great despair[00:05:14]
And her little boat against a rock did run[00:05:29]
How can I live now my sweet William is gone[00:05:46]
