The Sea-Apprentice Boy-Altan[00:00:00]

When first I went a sea-apprentice bound[00:00:09]

I sailed the salt seas all 'round and 'round[00:00:15]

I scarce had sailed a voyage but one[00:00:21]

When I fell in love with my charming Anne[00:00:27]

I went to my captain both stout and bold[00:00:34]

And unto him my secret told[00:00:40]

I love yon lass as I love my life[00:00:46]

What would I give if she were my wife?[00:00:52]

Well, the captain said, "You're a foolish boy[00:00:58]

For to court a girl that you'll ne'er enjoy[00:01:04]

For she'll have lovers while you're at sea[00:01:10]

And she'll be married e're you'll be free"[00:01:17]

Well, I don't know but I'll go and try[00:01:29]

For she might fancy an apprentice boy[00:01:35]

And she might alter her mind for me[00:01:41]

And wait on me until I be free[00:01:47]

Well, I bought her ribbons, I bought her gloves[00:01:53]

These things to prove of a heart that loves[00:01:59]

She accepted all and she was not shy[00:02:05]

And she vowed to wait for her apprentice boy[00:02:12]

When my ship is anchored and my work is over[00:02:39]

I'll steer my barque for sweet Erin's shore[00:02:45]

In my native country, my love I'll enjoy[00:02:51]

And she'll welcome home her apprentice boy[00:02:57]

So come all you sea-apprentices where e'er you be[00:03:03]

Never slight your true love while you're at sea[00:03:09]

Just love her as you love your life[00:03:15]

And she'll consent to become your wife[00:03:21]
