phoebe smith - sweet william lyrics
there was six bonny sailors stood in a row
and my love william among the crew
he’s tall and handsome, both young and fair
if i don’t have william, i’ll have none at all
now he sails away on the morning tide
i stood on shore and watched that ship sail by
to plough the ocean both far and wide
when the sea he is raging, and the wind blows high
“now come father, come father, build to me a boat
and on the ocean, i’m going to float
to watch those queen’s ships as they sail by
then i will enquire for my w+lly boy.”
she did not sail on the ocean far
before a queen’s ship she chanced to meet
“come captain, captain, now tell me true
the ship my love william’s on board with you?”
“now what colour clothes did your w+lly wear?”
“the colour blue with his eyes so true
his ruby lips they’re so fresh and fine
and ten+thousand times they have been joined with mine.”
“oh no fair lady, he is not here
he’s dead and drowned, deed’ i am aware
the other night when the wind blew’d high
that’s when i lost sight of your w+lly boy.”
“now are single and are you free
or will you come love and marry me?”
“i won’t be bound but i will go free
until apples grow on an orange tree.”
