Verses:
A5 A5 A5 A5
Come me own one, come me fair one, come now unto me
D5 A5 A5 D5 G5
Could you fancy a poor sailor lad, Who has just come from sea?
A5 A5 A5 A5
You are ragged love, you are dirty love, and your clothes smell much of tar
D5 A5 A5 D5 G5
So begone you saucy sailor lad, so begone you Jack Tar
A5 A5 A5 A5
If I am ragged love, and I'm dirty love, and me clothes smell much of tar
D5 A5 A5 D5 G5
I have silver in me pocket love, and gold in great store
A5 A5 A5 A5
And then when she heard him say so on her bended knee she fell
D5 A5 A5 D5 G5
I will marry my dear Henry for I love a sailor lad so well
A5 A5 A5 A5
Do you think that I am foolish love, Do you think that I am mad?
D5 A5 A5 D5 G5
For to wed with a poor country girl, Where no fortune's to be had
A5 A5 A5 A5
I will cross the briny ocean, I will whistle and sing
D5 A5 A5 D5 G5
And since you have refused me offer love, some other girl shall wear the ring
A5 A5 A5 A5
I am frolicsome, and I am easy, good tempered and free
D5 A5 A5 D5 D5 D5 D5
And I don't give a single pin me boys, What the world thinks of me
Solo: D5 C5 B5 A5 repeat and fade
