Unknown - Saucy Sailor Lyrics

"Come ye old ones, come ye fair ones Come ye all unto me Could you fancy a poor sailor lad Who's just come from sea?" "You are ragged, love, and you're dirty, love, And your clothes smell of the tar So begone, you saucy sailor lad And begone, you jack tars." "If I'm ragged, love, and I'm dirty, love, And my clothes smell of the tar I have silver in my pockets, love And the gold in great store" And when she heard him say so, Down on bended knee she fell; "I will marry my dear Henry, For I love the sailor lads well." "Do you think that I am foolish, love, Do you think that I'm mad? For to marry a poor country girl When there's fortunes to be had? I will sail the briny ocean, I will whistle and sing And since you've refused my offer, love, Some other girl shall wear my ring." I am frolicsome, I am easy, Good-tempered, and free And I don't care a single pin, me boys What the world thinks of me. ~added by kallisti~ Unknown Lyrics Saucy Sailor Lyrics
