 Come me own one, come me fair one, come now unto me

 Could you fancy a poor sailor lad, Who has just come from sea?

 You are ragged love, you are dirty love, and your clothes smell much of tar

 So begone you saucy sailor lad, so begone you Jack Tar

 If I am ragged love, and I'm dirty love, and me clothes smell much of tar

 I have silver in me pocket love, and gold in great store

 And then when she heard him say so on her bended knee she fell

 I will marry my dear Henry for I love a sailor lad so well

 Do you think that I am foolish love, Do you think that I am mad?

 For to wed with a poor country girl, Where no fortune's to be had

 I will cross the briny ocean, I will whistle and sing

 And since you have refused me offer love, some other girl shall wear the ring

 I am frolicsome, and I am easy, good tempered and free

 And I don't give a single pin me boys, What the world thinks of me
