maddy prior & tim hart - the rambling sailor lyrics

i am a sailor, brisk and bold
that oft have sailed the ocean
i’ve travelled the country far and near
for honour and promotion
me shipmates, all, i’ll bid you adieu
i may no longer go along with you
i’ll travel the country through and through
and they call me the rambling sailor

and if you want to know my name
my name, it is young johnson
i’ve got a commission from the king
to court all girls as handsome
with my false heart and flattering tongue
i’ll court them all both old and young
i’ll court them all but i marry none
and they call me the rambling sailor
well first i come to plymouth town
and there were lasses many
i boldly stepped onto a onе
to court her for her money
says i “mе dear, be of good cheer
i will not leave you, do not fear
i’ll travel the country far and near
and they call me the rambling sailor”

and next i come to portsmouth town
and there were lasses plenty
i boldly stepped onto a one
to court her for her beauty
says i “me dear, what do you choose?
here’s ale and a wine and a rum punch too
besides a pair of silks that ensures
if you travel with the rambling sailor”

and then i rose up with the dawn
just as the day was peeping
on tiptoe down the stairs i went
and i left my love a+sleeping
and if she waits until i come
she may lie there till the day of her doom
i’ll court some other girl in their room
and they call me the rambling sailor
