shirley collins - sweet william lyrics

Loading...

“father, father, come build me a boat
that over the wide ocean i may go
and every ship that i pass by
there i’ll enquire of my sailor boy”

i hadn’t been sailing but half an hour
before i met a bold man+of+war
“captain, captain, come tell me true
is my sweet william on board with you?”

“no, kind lady, he is not here
that he has drownded most great i fear
the other night when the wind blew high
that’s when we lost your sailor boy”

i’ll sat me down, i’ll write a song
i’ll write it neat and i’ll write it long
in every verse i’ll shed a tear
in every line hold w+lly dear

i wish i wish but it’s all in vain
i wish i was a maid again
but a maid, a maid i’ll never be
till apples grow on an orange tree
