Lyrics
Short jacket and white trousers this fair maid she's put on And like a dashing sailor bold went roaring through the town She was signed up by Captain Blair, a sailor for to be And all to seek her own true love all on the raging sea One night as she lay drowsing, she was ready for her bed Our captain heaved a sigh and said, “I wish you was a maid Your cherry cheeks and ruby lips they have beguiled me And I've often wished with all my heart you could my sweetheart be” “But hold your tongue, dear Captain, you know such talk's in vain For if our shipmates should come to hear they would make sport and gamе But when that we do go ashore somе pretty girls we'll find For to ramble along with us bold lads, seeing as you're that way inclined” It was some six weeks later they reached the London shore This maid appeared in her petticoats which made the captain roar “Oh, a sailor I have been aboard but a maid I'm going ashore And you've lost your chance, dear Captain, so farewell for ever more”
