stonecircle - saucy sailor lyrics

(traditional)
come my own one, come my fair one
come now unto me
could you fancy a poor sailor lad
who has just come from sea?
you are ragged, love; you are dirty, love;
and your clothes smell much like tar;
so begone, you saucy sailor lad,
so begone, you jack tar.
if i’m ragged, love; and i’m dirty, love;
and my clothes smell much like tar;
i have silver in me pockets, love,
and gold in great store.
and then when she heard him say so
on her bended knee she fell–
i will marry my dear henry,
for i love the lad so well.
do you think that i am foolish, love?
do you think that i am mad,
for to wed with a poor country girl
where no fortune’s to be had?
i will cross the briny ocean,
i will whistle and sing,
and since you have refused the offer, love,
some other girl shall wear the ring.
i am frolicksome, i am easy,
good-tempered and free,
and i don’t give a single pin, me boys,
what the world thinks of me.
