A Sailor's Life - A. L. Lloyd[00:00:00]
A sailor's life is a merry life[00:00:06]
They rob young girls of their hearts' delight[00:00:12]
Leaving them behind to sigh and mourn[00:00:19]
They never know when they will return[00:00:25]
Here's four-and-twenty all in a row[00:00:34]
My sweetheart cuts the brightest show[00:00:39]
He's proper tall genteel withal[00:00:46]
And if i don't have him she said i'll have none at all[00:00:52]
Oh father fetch me a little boat[00:01:00]
That i might on the ocean float[00:01:05]
And every queen's ship that we pass by[00:01:12]
We'll make enquire for my sailor boy[00:01:17]
We hadn't sailed long upon the deep[00:01:25]
Before a queen's we chanced to meet[00:01:30]
You sailors all come tell me true[00:01:36]
Does my sweet william sail among your crew[00:01:42]
Oh no fair lady he isn't here[00:01:50]
For he is drownded we greatly fear[00:01:56]
On yon green island as we passed by[00:02:02]
There we lost sight of your sailor boy[00:02:08]
She wrung her hands and she tore her hair[00:02:17]
Much like a woman in great despair[00:02:22]
Her little boat 'gainst a rock did run[00:02:29]
How can i live now my william is gone[00:02:35]
