Verses:
A A A A
Come me own one, come me fair one, come now unto me
Dm A A D G
Could you fancy a poor sailor lad, Who has just come from sea?
A A A A
You are ragged love, you are dirty love, and your clothes smell much of tar
Dm A A D G
So begone you saucy sailor lad, so begone you Jack Tar
A A A A
If I am ragged love, and I'm dirty love, and me clothes smell much of tar
Dm A A D G
I have silver in me pocket love, and gold in great store
A A A A
And then when she heard him say so on her bended knee she fell
Dm A A D G
I will marry my dear Henry for I love a sailor lad so well
A A A A
Do you think that I am foolish love, Do you think that I am mad?
Dm A A D G
For to wed with a poor country girl, Where no fortune's to be had
A A A A
I will cross the briny ocean, I will whistle and sing
Dm A A D G
And since you have refused me offer love, some other girl shall wear the ring
A A A A
I am frolicsome, and I am easy, good tempered and free
Dm A A D D/C D D/C
And I don't give a single pin me boys, What the world thinks of me
