Could you fancy a poor sailor lad
Who has just come from sea
And your clothes smell much of tar
So be gone, you saucy sailor lad
And me clothes smell much of tar
I have silver in me pocket, love
And then when she heard him say so
On a bended knee she fell
I will marry my dear Henry
For I love a sailor lad so well
Do you think that I am mad
For to wed with a poor country girl
There's no fortunes to be had
I will cross the briny ocean
And since you've refused the offer, love
Some other girl shall wear the ring
Oh, I am frolicksome and I am easy
And I don't give a single pin, me boys
What the world thinks of me More from The Wailin' Jennys
