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
