E minorEm 
A minorAm
Upon one summer's morning, I carelessly did stray,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay,
E minorEm A minorAm
Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seem'd to be in pain,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
Saying, William, when you go, I fear you will ne'er return again.
E minorEm A minorAm
His hair it does in ringlets hang, his eyes as black as soles,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
May happiness attend him wherever he goes,
E minorEm A minorAm
From Tower Hill, down to Blackwall, I will wander, weep and moan,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
All for my jolly sailor bold, until he does return.
E minorEm A minorAm
My father is a merchant—the truth I now will tell,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
And in great London City in opulence doth dwell,
E minorEm A minorAm
His fortune doth exceed 300,000 in gold,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
And he frowns upon his daughter, 'cause she loves a sailor bold.
E minorEm A minorAm
A augmentedA fig for his riches, his merchandize, and gold,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
True love is grafted in my heart; give me my sailor bold:
E minorEm A minorAm
Should he return in poverty, from o'er the ocean far,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
To my tender bosom, I'll fondly press my jolly tar.
E minorEm A minorAm
My sailor is as smiling as the pleasant month of May,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
And oft we have wandered through Ratcliffe Highway,
E minorEm A minorAm
Where many a pretty blooming girl we happy did behold,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
Reclining on the bosom of her jolly sailor bold.
E minorEm A minorAm
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea,
E minorEm A minorAm
While up aloft, in storm or gale, from me his absence mourn,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
And firmly pray, arrive the day, he home will safe return.
E minorEm A minorAm
My name it is Maria, a merchant's daughter fair,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
And I have left my parents and three thousand pounds a year,
E minorEm A minorAm
My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
E minorEm B7B7 E minorEm
There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold.
