the irish rovers - my boy willie lyrics
it was early, early- in the spring
when my love w-lly went to serve the king
and all that vexed him or grieved his mind
was the leavin’ of his dear girl behind
oh, father dear, built me a boat
that on the ocean i might float
and view– the ships, as they p-ss me by
and to inquire, of my sailor boy
she had not sailed long in the deep
when a fine ships crew, she changed to meet
and of the captain she inquired to (?)
does my love w-lly sail on board with you?
what sort of lad, is your w-lly fair?
what sort of clothes does your w-lly wear?
he wears a coat of royal blue
and you’ll easily know him, for his heart is true
if that’s your w-lly, he is not here
i doubt he’s drowned, as we do fear
‘t was (garble—) as we p-ssed by
it was there we lost a fine sailor boy
—-oh, dig my grave long, wide, and deep
put a marble stone at my head and feet
and in the middle, a turtle dove
so the whole world knows, that i die(d) for love
