Saucy Sailor
I used to do it in this key, now I can only do it if I capo 3 or 4. walk down D, C, C/B,
Come me [A] own one, come me fair one,
Come now unto me,
Could you [Dm] fancy a poor [A] sailor lad,
Who has just come [G] from [D] sea? [G]
You are ragged love, and you're 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 am dirty love,
And my clothes smell much of tar,
I have silver in my pocket love,
And gold in great store.
And when she heard him say that,
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,
When a fortune's to be had.
I will cross the briny ocean,
I will whistle and sing,
And since you have refused the offer, love,
Some other girl shall wear the ring.
I am frolicsome, I am easy,
Good tempered and free,
And I don't give a single pin my boys,
What the world thinks of me.
