Lyrics
Oh, come all you wild young men And a-warnin' take by me Never to lead your single life astray And into no bad company As I myself have done It been in the merry month of May When I was pressed by a sea captain And on board a man of war I was sent We sailed on the ocean so wide And our bonny, bonny flag we let fly Let every man stand true to his gun For the Lord knows who must die Let every man stand true to his gun For the Lord knows who must die Our captain was wounded full sore And likewise wеre the rest of his crеw Our main mast rigging It was scattered on the deck So that we were obliged to give in Our decks they were spattered with blood And so loudly the cannon did roar And here all the while have I wished myself at home And all alone with my Polly on the shore She's a tall and a slender girl She's a dark and a roving eye And here am I lie a-bleeding on the deck When for her sweet sake I would die Here am I lie bleeding on the deck When for her sweet sake I would die So farewell to my parents and to friends And farewell to my dear Polly, too I never would have crossed the salt sea so wide If I had been ruled by you Never would have crossed the salt sea so wide If I had been ruled by you
