β« Intro:
Em C Am C Em C Bm Em
β« Verse 1:
Em C Am C
Upon one summer's morning
I carefully did stray
Em C Am Bm Em
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay
Em C Am C
Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seemed to be in pain
Em C Am Bm Em
Saying William, when you go
I fear you will never return again
β« Chorus:
Em C
My heart is pierced by Cupid
Am C
I disdain all glittering gold
Em C
There is nothing can console me
Am Bm Em
But my jolly sailor bold
β« Verse 2:
Em C Am C
His hair it hangs in ringlets, his eyes as black as coal
Em C Am Bm Em
My happiness attend him wherever he may go
Em C Am C
From Tower Hill to Blackwall
I'll wander, weep and moan
Em C Am Bm Em
All for my jolly sailor, until he sails home
β« Chorus:
Em C
My heart is pierced by Cupid
Am C
I disdain all glittering gold
Em C
There is nothing can console me
Am Bm Em
But my jolly sailor bold
β« Verse 3:
Em C Am C
My name it is Maria, a merchant's daughter fair
Em C Am Bm Em
And I have left my parents and three thousand pounds a year
Em C Am C
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Em C Am Bm Em
Who love a jolly sailor that ploughs the raging sea
Em C Am C
While up aloft in storm, from me his absence mourn
Em C Am Bm Em
And firmly pray, arrive the day, he's never more to roam
β« Chorus:
Em C
My heart is pierced by Cupid
Am C
I disdain all glittering gold
Em C
There is nothing can console me
Am Bm Em
But my jolly sailor bold
β« Outro:
Em C Am C Em C Bm Em
