na rosai - willie taylor lyrics
willie taylor was a sailor
he was courtin’ a fair lady
instead of willie getting married
he was forced unto the sea
but his bride soon followed after
under the name of richard carr
snow white fingers, long and slender
covered them with pitch and tar
fal-de-ral
de-rum-dum-dilly
fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
fal-de-ral
de-rum-dum-dilly
fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
so she dressed up in sailor’s clothing
lo she was a fine young man
away she sailed, upon the ocean
all aboard the maryanne
a storm arose upon the ocean
she being out among the rest
the wind it tore her silver b-ttons and
there appeared her snow white breast
fal-de-ral
de-rum-dum-dilly
fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
fal-de-ral
de-rum-dum-dilly
fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
“ho,” says the captain, “my dear lady
what misfortunes brought you here?”
“i’ve been searching for my true lover who
you had pressed the other year”
“ho,” says the captain, “my dear lady
tell to me this young man’s name!”
“some folk call him willie taylor,
william taylor is his name”
fal-de-ral

fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
“if willie taylor was your true lover then
he has spoke to you untrue–
he’s got married to another and
left you here alone to brood.”
“rise up early in the morning
early at the break of day
there you’ll spy willie taylor
walking out with his lady gay”
fal-de-ral
de-rum-dum-dilly
fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
fal-de-ral
de-rum-dum-dilly
fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
so she woke up early next morning
early at the break of day
there she spied willie taylor
walking out with his lady gay
gun and pistol she commanded
gun and pistol by her side
there she shot willie taylor
walking out with his new-made bride
fal-de-ral
de-rum-dum-dilly
fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
fal-de-ral
de-rum-dum-dilly
fal-de-ral da-rum-dum day
